Plus ingredients called for on box
Dark chocolate frosting
Assorted sm. candies; i.e, M&M's & gum drops
1 sm. tube decorating frosting (orange or green or ?)
Pipe cleaners, construction paper & lots of imagination
Prepare 2 stainless steel mixing bowls as you would a cake pan (grease and
flour); 1 bowl should be smaller then the other (we use 5 ¾ inch
diameter and 7 ¾ inch diameter). Prepare cake mix per box directions
and pour into prepared mixing bowls in equal depths. Bake per box (baking
time will vary; usually takes 45 minutes to an hour; check with wooden
pick for doneness.) Turn baked bowl cakes out on cooling racks. When
cool, cut in half, this will be the paws. Set the cat up on a platter.
Frost with chocolate frosting. The kids can make a tail and ears out of
cardboard; coloring in with crayons. The face is out of decorator
frosting. The whiskers are pipe cleaners. Eyes, nose are candies. This
cake has become a Halloween tradition at our house; makes a great
centerpiece for Halloween Party. Children love it!
