How To Make A Spiderweb Cake

With Halloween just days away I thought I would show you how I make a Spiderweb Halloween Cake. I first made this cake last year and was very impressed in how easy it is to make. Honestly I have had to wait a year to share with you how to do it. 
All your going to need is a chocolate cake or cake kit, chocolate icing, giant marshmallows, and black ready to roll fondant.



  1. To make the cake we used the Betty Crocker Devils Food Cake Mix, however if you prefer you can make the cake yourself. We added 3 eggs and 8 tablespoons of olive oil into the mixture and mixed until combined.
  2. Next line a cake tin or two, I used one and then cut the cake in half later. 
  3. Pour your mixture into the cake tin and level it. Pop your cake in the oven on Gas mark 4 or 180'C for around 30mins. 
  4. Once your cake is cooled cut it in half, if you haven't baked it in separate tins. Also don't forget to level the cake as you want a nice flat top.
  5. Sandwich the two halves together using some chocolate icing, we used Betty Crocker Chocolate Icing. 
  6. Feel free to ice the outside of the cake too.  We decided not to in fear it was going to rip the cake. 
  7. Pop 2 giant marshmellows in a microwave bowl and melt them for around 10-20 seconds.  They should come out looking nearly melted, almost like marshmallow fluff. 
  8. With your hands grab some of the melted marshmallow in your hand (be careful it may be hot) and start to pull it until it becomes quite stringy and elasticated. Pull your hands apart and drape the marshmallow over the cake creating a spiderweb effect. 
  9. Once you have finished stringing the marshmallow over the cake you can use some black ready to roll fondant to create spiders.

To make things a lot easier I have also uploaded a Youtube video to show you exactly how to make it. If you make this cake then feel free to tweet me pictures @KayleighmPlatt or tag me on Instagram @kayleighmplatt.





Enjoy
