Giant Spider

I wanted to see how large of a spider I could make and this is what I came up with. The legs are made from pretzel rods, the head is from the Wilton ball pan, and the body is carved from round cakes. The hair on the back is made up of over 200 chocolate covered cherries. It measured 4 feet X 4.5 feet. I made the legs detachable and had to melt them into place when I presented it. Sorry about the poor picture quality, but I was in a hurry to get it ready to take to work. Also, my tables are uneven so that's why the different things are under the front legs.

To deliver it, I had to use two carriers which are large Rubbermaid totes turned upsidedown. The legs went separately from the body. The legs were stacked and padded with wadded up saran wrap then wrapped to keep them in place.
