#spider cake

This year's Halloween cake was, for once, a complete copycat thing, at least look-wise. The inspiration was this: https://www.sugarhero.com/red-velvet-marshmallow-spiderweb-cake/

I merely made the spider deliberately more cute and less scary, for the 6-year-olds at the table, and went for less height to avoid leftovers.

Taste- and material-wise, though, I basically changed everything:

- This is chocolate cake, filled with cherry marmelade, instead of red velvet cake.

- I used dark ganache as frosting, instead of chocolate buttercream.

- The spider is marzipan, not modelling chocolate.

It was very yummy, and pleasantly quick and easy to do for such a cool look!
