7
Place your first cake layer on a plate. Using a large open-round piping tip, pipe a border of vanilla buttercream around the outside edge of the cake.
8
Fill the vanilla buttercream border with black frosting using an offset spatula. Place the second cake layer on top and repeat, then add the third and final layer.
9
Once the cake is filled and stacked, use the remaining vanilla frosting to frost the top and sides of the cake.

To Decorate
11
Add black frosting to a piping bag fitted with a #4 decorating tip. Pipe the frosting in a web pattern over the top of the cake, extending the web lines down the side of the cake. These will be the “strands” where the spiders can dangle.
12
Press Mini Oreos into the cake as desired. Afterward, use leftover white and black frosting to pipe the legs and eyes.
