Heirloom Chocolate Cake II

Since the Heirloom Chocolate Cupcakes were such a big hit at Finn's Baptism Brunch, I decided to try the recipe as a sheet cake for our recent Halloween Playdate.  It was also a fun opportunity to make spider webs.  I drew concentric circles with Wilton Sparkle Icing in black and then used a toothpick, starting from center and moving outwards, to create the web design.  I have to say that it was easy and fun to do!  For the spider, I used Wilton's orange icing color to dye some marzipan, or almond paste, and then turned it over to my husband Chris.  When given a task he doesn't mess around.  He is quite handy!
