Black Widow Cake on Cake Central

Pipe cleaners for legs, goggle eyes, and plastic teeth, super easy to make, the trick is getting "black" icing instead of grey or purple!

Well, that's ok, I did this one several years ago for an all adult party, it is pretty simple to make, quick and easy to do if you're pressed for time for a Halloween cake. I wouldn't have cared but someone pointed out that it's a matter of ethics. I've now seen my cake at other sites now too. Glad it's so popular!

for the "body" I used a 3 qt metal mixing bowl and the "head" I used a 2 qt metal mixing bowl. Here's a hint when using metal mixing bowls. Fold up some paper towels until the towel is a 1 1/2" strip, then run this under your sink and get it dripping wet and then wrap it around the outside top of the bowl. This will keep the cake on the outside top rim from cooking so fast so that the deeper inside can "catch-up" to the outside of the cake in baking. If not, the rim of cake will be over cooked.
