Ingredients
- 2 Red velvet cake Round, Dimensions: 8x2 each
- 3 cups Cream cheese frosting
- 2 cup Marshmallow fondant Red
- 8-10 Twizzler ropes Dark green or black in color, I used the "Pull n Peel" style of Twizzlers
- 2 tablespoon Crushed Oreos
- 2 Yellow Twizzlers Chopped up
- 5 Oreo spider cookies
Instructions
- Bake cakes and allow them to cool completely.
- While cakes are baking and cooling, prepare the frosting.
- Slice off the domes of the cakes, if there are any, so they are levelled and straight.
- Place one cake on a cake stand.
- Spread icing on top.
- Place the other cake on top.
- Ice the entire cake in frosting smoothly.
- Roll out red fondant and spread it gently over the iced cake.
- Smooth it out and cut off excess from the base with a pizza cutter.
- Use scissors or a sharp knife to cut different sizes of Twizzler ropes.
- Arrange the Twizzler rope pieces in the shape of a spider web on the top of the cake. Press them until they stick into place. You can stick them more securely by brushing some water or corn syrup.
- If you like, you can also make a spider web with Twizzler ropes along the side of the cake.
- Sprinkle some crushed Oreos all over the cake.
- Cut up some yellow Twizzlers and place them around the base of your cake as a cool border.
- Make Oreo spider cookies, as per the instructions in the link above. Just omit the step where you cover them in sprinkles unless you want sprinkly spiders.
- Place these spiders on top of the cake and the sides or wherever else you like.You can stick them securely into place with some royal icing or melted chocolate. Enjoy!
