One of my favorite things to do for Halloween is add Pocky legs to otherwise innocent desserts. This year I decided to make a few variations on chocolate cakes to see how they turned out.
The first is a small cake made in a domed pan that makes cakes you can fill. I decided to use raspberry coulis (I left the seeds in) and whipped cream as spider guts. I couldn’t help adding sugar eyes.
You can do the same thing without shaped pan, I also make cupcakes to fill.
If baking is out of the question, Pocky legs can transform a regular cupcake into something rather creepy. This is a Triple Chocolate from Trophy Cupcakes here in Seattle.
Spider legs can also be created by piping chocolate sauce or frosting onto the plate.
