Best Fiends Ladybug Cake

Ingredients:
• Prepared 8″ (23 cm) black cake (https://youtu.be/XaNELscDtms)
• Prepared vanilla cake batter coloured red (https://youtu.be/XaNELscDtms)
• Prepared vanilla buttercream coloured red (https://youtu.be/rjqOTM5icOE)
• Fondant- red, green, black, white
– flower stamens
– black gel paste

Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease two 8″ cake pans.
2. Cover bottom of each cake pan with one cup of cake batter, spread thinly.
3. Cut black cake into wedges. Using a 1.25″ circle cutter, cut the wedge into 2 circles. Place the thinner circle in one pan, and press it into the batter near the center of the pan, and the thicker circle in the other pan, towards the outer edge. Repeat cutting wedges, and cutting circles out and placing into the batter until two rings of lady bug spots is complete.
4. Cover black cake with additional cake batter until all pieces are covered.
5. Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cake is completely cooked in the center. Allow to cool completely.
6. Once cake has cooled completely, stack cake with the smaller circle of dots as the top layer. Carve top cake into a dome and cover the whole cake in red buttercream.
7. Cut out a small cave area from the front of the cake where the head will be.
8. Roll out red fondant and cover cake with it.
9. Roll out black fondant and cut 2 large spots, and 5 medium spots from it. Cut one 12-14″ strip of fondant as well.
10.Attach black pieces of fondant to the top of the cake, attaching with water if needed. Run the strip from the front to the back of the cake, the larger spots on the sides of the top, and the smaller spots near the bottom. Cut the fifth spot in half, and apply at the front of the cake on either side of the strip.
11. Cut out pupils and legs from black fondant. Color the stamens with black gel paste and set aside to dry.
12. Roll out white fondant and cut out white eyes using a 1.25″ round cutter. Place pupil onto the eye, and cut a tiny piece of white out to highlight the pupil. Cut out two teeth from the white fondant as well.
13. Roll out a 9oz piece of green fondant and shape into a disc. Roll up the the bottom of the disc up towards the center of the disc for the mouth of Bob. Using green fondant, roll out two eyebrows and attach with water.
14. Poke two small holes in the top of the head and insert the stamens (antennas).
15. Attach the eyes to the head with a small amount of water. Attach the teeth with water as well.
16. Position the head in place and secure with toothpicks or water if necessary.
17. Attach legs to the cake with water.
18. Keep cake in fridge until you are ready to serve and reveal the surprise inside! It is best consumed within 2-3 days.
