Witches Brew Cake

I made this cake for my daughters 18th birthday, which she has a Halloween themed party. I first began by using a dome shaped pan. It took about three cake mixes.

After they cooled I took them out of the pan, and froze them. This will make the cake easier to ice and trim.

I placed the first one down and trimmed off the bottom so it would sit one a base the put orange icing on the first layer.

Next I added the top layer and trimmed the top to form the top of the couldren.

I then iced the cake using a premade black icing, leaving the top open.

Then using just the icing bag with out a tip. I piped on the circle to form the lip of the couldren.

Then I placed it back in the freezer for about 15 minutes so the icing would set.

Using my spatula I dipped in water I smoothed it all out.

I then filled in the center with green icing using only the icing bag with out a tip. I then placed some premade body parts inside the green icing.

I piped on to handles one on each side.
Once again using the green icing. I globbed it over the sides and placed candy as if it was spilling over.

WHAT YOU NEED:
DOMED SHAPED PAN
2 BLACK ICINGS
1 GREEN ICIN1 ORANGE ICING
3 CAKE MIXES
GUMMY BODY PARTS
A LITTLE BIT OF FUN!
