Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Cover the cake with a thin layer of chocolate frosting and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set the crumb coat.
Roll out the red fondant to create the oval mask and cut out the white eyes with black frames.
Draw a radiating web pattern on the red mask using melted dark chocolate or a food-grade pen.
Roll out the blue fondant, drape it over the chilled cake, and trim the excess around the base.
Secure the mask and eye pieces to the top of the cake using a small amount of food glue or water.

Notes

For the cleanest look, use a fondant smoother to remove any air bubbles and ensure the surface is perfectly flat. If the fondant feels too soft while rolling, placing it in the freezer for one minute can help it regain the firm texture needed for easy handling.
