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!
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)

That is just the cutest cake!!!! I will have to try to make it for my next Halloween party. By the way, I have that exact Halloween cake stand that is sitting on your counter behind you in the final part of the video…..
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)
Very cute cake!!! You are so creative.
