Instructions

Place the melted white coating candy into a piping bag fitted with a small open tip.
Cut the black licorice into eight pieces roughly 1.5”-2" long, these will be the legs.
Stick 4 of the legs into the cream on each side of the Cakester.
Pipe two small dots of the melted coating candy on the top front of the Cakester where you'll place the eyes. Stick one eye on each dot.
Pipe small triangles, to use as fangs, onto parchment paper with the melted candy coating.
Once the fangs have hardened, pipe a line of red writing gel along the front cream of the Cakester - where the teeth will go (see picture). Attach teeth to the gel, then pipe a second line on top of the teeth.
Use the black writing Icing to pipe a line along where the legs meet the body (this helps to hide the white cream as well as keep the legs stable after it dries)
Enjoy!

Notes

Keep your Oreo spiders covered on the counter for a couple of hours or in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
Allow the candy melts plenty of time to set and harden, so decorations don’t start to fall off.
Switch it up and use pretzel logs instead of black licorice for the legs!
