# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Cakes

01 - 1 box Devil’s Food cake mix
02 - 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix (3.9 oz)
03 - 1/2 cup vegetable oil
04 - 3 large eggs
05 - 1 cup water

→ Filling and Decoration

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment.
02 - Combine cake mix, pudding mix, oil, eggs, and water in a large bowl. Beat on medium speed until thick and well blended.
03 - Scoop batter into 18 rounds for large pies or 36 rounds for smaller ones. Place evenly spaced on prepared sheets.
04 - Bake 7–10 minutes until spongy and set. Cool completely before filling.
05 - Tint vanilla icing with orange food coloring gel until desired shade is reached.
06 - Spread or pipe icing onto the flat side of one cake. Top with a second cake, pressing lightly to avoid overflow.
07 - Sprinkle with black decorations, add licorice legs and candy eyes for spider versions, or stencil with powdered sugar.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For smaller portions, prepare 36 cakes instead of 18.
02 - Food coloring gel provides more vibrant colors than liquid food coloring.
03 - Ensure cakes are fully cooled before adding icing to prevent melting.
