Frankenstein's Monster Cake

Sometimes I get a little obsessive about accuracy.

 This cake is a good example for you...

Would you call this green guy Frankenstein?

Because he is actually Frankenstein's Monster.

Frankenstein is the name of the mad scientist who created him.

Now that we have that perfectly accurate, let's get on to some cake decorating!

What You Will Need:
Cake frosted with green buttercream
Decorating bag filled with chocolate fudge frosting
Wilton tips #47 (basketweave) and #3 (small round)
2 white candy melts
2 brown M&M's
1 green peanut M&M
1 mini Twix bar

My favorite part of this cake is the hair!

I used a tub of pre-made frosting (gasp!) because the consistency is perfect for this.
(I added some black food coloring to make it darker.)
Using tip #47, start piping in the middle of the cake and move outward -
going over the edge and down the side a little.
Make sure the serrated side of the tip is up.
Continue all the way around the cake, making the hair longer in back.
 
Attach the brown M&M's to the candy melts with a dab of frosting, then press on to the cake.
Attach your green peanut M&M to the cake right under the eyes.
Using tip #3, Pipe on a squiggly mouth and a scar.
Cute the Twix bar in half, and press into the sides of the cake to make bolts.

 I prefer my Halloween cakes to be more cute than creepy. :0)

Enjoy!
