Source: Kathy/MA from Recipe Chat
When cake is cut it spurts green goop.
Batter |
18 1/4 | oz box | White cake mix |
1 (4-servings) | pkg | Green gelatin |
- Prepare cake using two 9-inch round cake pans. Cool.
- Prepare the gelatin according to package directions. It works best
if it is just a little on the soft side.
- On a foil-covered cookie sheet, place one cake layer for the body.
Cut a smaller circle out of the center of the layer. Place this smaller
round of cake as the spider's head. Fill the hole left in the body
layer with gelatin. Place the other cake layer on top of the body and
trim cake slightly to shape, if desired.

until black in color. Frost the entire cake black.
Decorations |

2 | big | Green gumballs |
6 | little | Gumballs |
- Cut the black licorice whips in half and insert for the eight legs.
Position the gumballs as eyes.
