Monster Tie-Dye Cake

It’s a countdown to Halloween, and you’ve got a party to plan. Never fear! Our monster cake is a little spooky, a teensy bit cute, and loads of fun! It’s perfect for your party table. Gobs of orange-tinted “fur” (aka frosting), one-eyed lollipops, and a tie-dyed center give this Halloween monster cake some kid-friendly appeal. It all starts with box mix cake, so you don’t have to be a master baker to make this monster. With some easy scooping skills, you’ll turn a plain cake into a tie-dye wonder.

OodleTip Frosting Bag

When it’s time to frost, the Sweet Creations OodleTip Icing Bag gives you total control, so you’ll have the best shag cake around! The Oodletips bags come ready to fill and frost, with icing tip right in the bag. So all you have to do is scoop the frosting inside, snip, and pipe. You’ll be decorating like a master in minutes!

And to top it all off, some one-eyed lollipops make decorating simple and easy. Go get your monster on and make this amazing Halloween cake.

Fun Flavor Twists

Enjoy this recipe as written below. Or try these easy upgrades:

• Cake Topper Swap. Swap out the lollipops for cake pops, frosted marshmallows, or dipped Oreos on sticks. Either way, you still get the eyeball effect, but with whatever munchable treat your kiddos prefer.
• Big Mouth. Create a wide monster mouth with black fondant for a big effect. Roll out the fondant and trim to customize a mouth, then add the candy corn teeth.

What’s Your Hue? You don’t need to stick with orange for the frosting. Tint your icing with purple or green, let your kids decide!
