Red Velvet Marshmallow Spiderweb Cake
"This Red Velvet Marshmallow Spiderweb Cake is a classic red velvet cake, frosted with deep black chocolate buttercream, and covered with a spooky web of spiderwebs, made entirely from marshmallows! The spider on top is entirely edible, and is made from chocolate plastic, a mix of candy coating and corn syrup! The chocolate plastic needs to rest overnight before you can sculpt with it, so if you want to make the edible spider, you’ll want to give yourself enough time to make the plastic in advance. Store-bought fondant can be substituted if you desire...."
