Each year the same, friends have their birthday and so the baking starts again. Of course it should be something special and to bake the same cake like last year isn't my thing. One of my friends really hates spiders, really! And I would say, perfect for me, cause I always get new ideas :).
Everything starts with a biscuit and I had a pink fondant still in my fridge. It would be a shame, if I wouldn't use it.
I made 2 of it, but still wondering if it would be enough. I cut the cake in 2 pieces and started to cut it for the spider body, put some jam between the layers, covered it with buttercream and did the same procedure with the head of the spider.
Next pic shows the body already covered with pink fondant.
I didn't have so much time to take pics during the whole production and so you will see the result.
I took the rest of the cake and made little cakes and with chocolate I draw some spider net on it. A little bottle of Bailey's should show my friends habbit :). Pleas pay attention on the spiders lips! Really awesome!
I found the necklace with the big 30, at a local fun store. To be honest, the legs of the spider were the bigger problem. How should I make them?! After some brainstorming, I decided to use some chocolate covered sticks one and with hot chocolate I connected them to each other. Some sneakers hold the legs in the right position. I worried about the transportation, but it worked and no leg got lost!
