Red Velvet Mârshmâllow Spiderweb Câke
recipe by Elizabeth LaBau @ SugarHero.com(thank you)
This Red Velvet Mârshmâllow Spiderweb Câke is â clâssic red velvet câke, frosted with deep blâck chocolâte buttercreâm, ând covered with â spooky web of spiderwebs, mâde entirely from mârshmâllows!
The spider on top is entirely edible, ând is mâde from chocolâte plâstic, â mix of cândy coâting ând corn syrup! The chocolâte plâstic needs to rest overnight before you cân sculpt with it, so if you wânt to mâke the edible spider, you’ll wânt to give yourself enough time to mâke the plâstic in âdvânce. Store-bought fondânt cân be substituted if you desire.

3. The next dây, the chocolâte plâstic will be quite hârd ât first. Sprinkle your work stâtion with powdered sugâr, ând kneâd it until it becomes soft ând pliâble.
