Spooky Spiderweb Cake

Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Bake Time: 28 to 38 minutes
Makes 12 servings

“Eeeeek!” Little goblins, ghosts and ghouls will go ga-ga over this great Halloween cake!  

Ingredients
1 package (18.25 ounces) white cake mix
1 can (16 ounces) vanilla frosting
Red and yellow food coloring
1 tube (0.68 ounce) black decorating gel
2 to 3 black or brown licorice laces
4 large black gumdrops


1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease and flour a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Prepare the cake mix according to package directions. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 28 to 38 minutes. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
 
2. Set aside 1/2 teaspoon vanilla frosting. Place the remaining frosting in a medium bowl. Add the red and yellow food coloring, a few drops at a time, until an orange color is reached. Frost the cake with the orange frosting. Pipe a spiderweb on top of the cake with the black decorating gel.
 
3. Cut eight 1 1/4-inch pieces of licorice lace for each spider. Make 4 holes with a wooden skewer on each side of each gumdrop. Insert 4 pieces of licorice into each side of the gumdrops for legs. Make eyes with small dots of reserved vanilla frosting using a toothpick. Add dots of black gel for centers of eyes. Place spiders on cake.
