Halloween Frankenstein Cake

One of my favorite things about Halloween is all the treats and this year I’m adding this Halloween Frankenstein Cake to the mix. It might look difficult and you might think you can’t do it, but believe me, if I can do it, you most definitely can pull it off. It’s actually not that complicated at all. You just need a big batch of classic buttercream, a batch of chocolate buttercream, a few disposable pastry bags with a few tips (although you can do this with plastic food storage bags) and a bit of melted chocolate. You can totally make this with boxed cake mix and store-bought frosting if you’d like. I’m not judging. Bookmark this now and make it this weekend so that you can impress your family and friends or coworkers on Halloween.
