This effective Halloween cake is very quick and easy to make and is a fraction of the cost of cakes available in supermarkets.

I used a coffee whisked sponge for this recipe, filled with coffee buttercream. The decoration is made out of water icing, coloured with food colouring. I used apricot for the background and black for the actual web.

See Chocolate Feather Icing for step by step instructions on creating this effective decoration. Finally place a plastic spider on the web. These are readily available in shops from the middle of September.
