Halloween Marble Cake in a Jar
Halloween Marble Cake in a Jar | These cakes are so much fun no one will even notice that they started with a cake mix! With pretty colors of purple and green and a surprise chocolate spider inside your guests will be excited about these fun cakes in a jar!
You can make the spiders different colors or just plain black like I did. I really like the idea of making the body one color (like dark red) and the body black. Click here for the mold—->>>>BITE SIZE SPIDER CHOCOLATE CANDY MOLD. Melt candy melts and either spoon into each mold or pour melted candy into a squeeze bottle and fill. Refrigerate until hard. This can be done days before the cakes are made.
Make cake batter according to the recipe below, divide batter and color. Layer batter into 7 half pint jars and bake.
Stir to marble batter.
Love…love….love the marbled cake!
To insert the spider….release spider from mold. Slide an off set spatula along the side of the jar creating a gap. Slide the spider into the gap. TIP: Do this step while the spiders are cold. It makes working with them so much easier.
Make the frosting according to the recipe. Separate into two bowls and color. Spoon frosting into two piping bags, flatten the bags, snip the ends and fit them into a large piping bag fitted with a large piping tip (making sure the tip of each bag goes into the piping tip). Add a swirl of colorful cuteness to the cakes!
