    We're excited to share a fun and simple Halloween spider cake design with you in this free cake decorating video!

    This giant spider cake topper is SO easy to make, and is great for adding a little drama to Halloween cakes. I love how quickly it all comes together, and the design options are endless!

    Giant Spider Cake Topper

     

     

    Materials for Spider Cake:

    (We decorated an 8 inch cake, frosted in our fluffy vanilla buttercream frosting)

    Two Rice Cereal Treats (22 g. size)
    Fondant (we used pre-colored black, and also tinted white fondant with Orange coloring)
    Tylose Powder (optional- we kneaded a little into our fondant so that it would set up more quickly)
    Coloring Gels- Americolor Orange, Black, Electric Green
    Lollipop Sticks for spider legs- we used 6" sticks. (Seven sticks total-3 for each side and the last stick is split in half to create the front two legs)

    Candy Corn for the top -optional - it was a last minute addition ;0)

    Piping Gel
    Black Sugar Pearls

    fondant ribbon cutter
    Red Sugar Pearls/Sprinkles for eyes (You could use fondant or red buttercream also)

      Thanks ladies!! @MsGF, yes only pretend spiders are acceptable, preferably sugar ones! ;0) -

      @gracie- So funny, I love that one! We almost used it but it wasn't quite the right match for the orange border on my cake. It's on standby for our next Halloween cake ;0)
