Start making the spiders on time, about two days in advance.

Step 1: Make the spiders

Knead the black fondant smoothly with a pinch of FunCakes Tylo Powder and use this to make two large spiders. Use red musket seeds for the eyes. Stick the spider together with some edible glue and leave to dry thoroughly for two days.

Step 2: Bake the bescuit

Preheat the oven to 180°C (hot-air oven 160°C). Prepare 400 g FunCakes Mix for Biscuit Deluxe according to the instructions on the package. Grease the baking pans with baking spray and divide the batter between the two baking pans. Bake the biscuits for about 30-35 minutes until cooked and immediately after baking, dump the bescuit onto a cake rack and leave to cool.

Step 3: Prepare the buttercream and season to taste

Prepare 300 g FunCakes Mix for Buttercream according to the instructions on the package and season with the flavouring paste until satisfied.

Step 4: Fill in the biscuit with jam and buttercream

Cut the biscuit both twice with the cake cutter. Fill with jam of your choice and buttercream. Coat the cakes all around with a thin layer of buttercream, leave to set in the fridge for half an hour and line the cakes with the lilac fondant. Stack the cakes on top of each other with a cut-to-size gold/silver cardboard and dowels.

Step 5: Make the spider webs with marshmallows

Put some large marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl and melt them for about 30 seconds until melted. Stir well for a moment. Put on the plastic gloves and take a ball of marshmallows between your hands. Pull your hands apart a few times so that 'threads' form. Fold these 'threads' around the cake, repeat until you are satisfied.

Finish the cake with the large spiders.
