Instructions
For the Cobweb Cake:
- Make cake according to package instructions. Bake in a long bread pan. When cooled, melt the chocolate frosting in the microwave for 30 seconds and pour over cake. Melt 3 cups of mini marshmallows in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir to melt. Wait for about 1 minute and then dip your fingers into the marshmallow cream and stretch and pull over the cake. (Disposable plastic gloves make this process less messy.) Add skeletons or other spooky decorations on and around the cake.
For the Skeleton Cake:
- Bake cake according to package instructions and pour batter into a long bread pan. When done, melt the container of chocolate frosting in the microwave for 30 seconds. Pour over cake to cover completely. Melt white chocolate and pour into molds. When hardened, lay skeleton over top of cake. Spread chocolate sprinkles over cake and on the platter.
For the Inside Out Spooky Cake:
- Make a chocolate boxed cake, according to package instructions (Add equal parts of red, green and blue food coloring to make it black). Make a white boxed cake, according to package instructions. Divide the batter into two bowls. Add orange coloring to one bowl and purple coloring to the second bowl. Assemble: In a well greased Bundt pan, pour in half of the chocolate batter. Add the orange layer. DO NOT STIR. Just pour it on the black cake batter. Then pour the purple cake batter onto the orange batter. DO NOT STIR. Finish with the remainder of the black cake.
