[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 548949, member: 1233"] You can mke a cool, and kind of gross, spider cake fairly easily. Bake a cake in a big bowl and a smaller bowl and get a box of Twinkies at the day old store. Put the cakes upside down next to each other on a big piece of plastic wrapped cardboard or board (whatever you have, I use a bread board). Cut 1/3 off the small side of the biggest bowl cake (put them largge side down on the board, small side up)and then hollow out the center of that cake. Make some red or green or blue jello. After the jello sets, stir it up and put it in the hollowed out cake and put the top back on. Arrange the twinkies as legs and then ice it all with black icing (ask at a grocery store bakery and usually for $2 you can get a ton of black icing which is far easier than trying to tint it yourself - black is a PITA to get even with paste food color, in my opinion). Use candies to make the face on the spider - m&ms work well. When you cut the body of the spider, the jello comes out and is gooey and many adults are grossed out and kids LOVE it. Or that has been my experience. Red Devil cake and blue or green jello gets a HUGE reaction from the moms for some reason. I adore Halloween and have done some pretty wild things for parties along these lines. We won't even go into the 3 weeks I spend making pokemon costumes one year. Wiz was some pokemon with a turtle shell that shot water - I did draw the line at making his costume shoot water, but ONLY because it was cold that year. by the way, this started early. When I was 4 my mom made a witch costume for me. She was NOT amused when she learned that Dad let me wear it to go Xmas shopping the week before Xmas. He and I were both confused as to why. it was a great costume. He even put the makeup on my face for the occasion (xmas shopping, not halloween. Mom did Halloween.) I bought those fleece costumes every time I could find them, the ones old navy and Land's End used to sell, and my kids wore them all winter for jammies and sled riding and whatever. [/QUOTE]
