Zoinks!

04-17-10 This is a 9x13 2 layer chocolate cake with chocolate icing filling and buttercream frosting for the decoration. The requested design used air brushing. Since I do not have the equipment to do an airbrush, I had to use a piece of paper and cut out the desired design and place it on top of the cake and buy Wilton's Color Mist food color spray. This was only the second time of using it in over 5 years, but the first time to use it to make a specific design. I used a tip 12 to create both the top and base border and a tip 3 for the details of the orange swirls and bats, as well as the writing. Overall a very happy recipient, and a very tasty cake even if I do say so myself. The chocolate cake itself was done from scratch, as I have yet to find a boxed chocolate cake that tastes good. Thank you Hershey's for the recipe online.
