Pretty pink and orange Halloween cake.

Start out by adding some stabilized pink whipped cream around the entire cake. You only need about ½ cup. Use a star tip to pipe it on. I used some confectioner's sugar to stabilize mine You can also use regular whipped cream as is, it just might not stay as well shaped.

Next, use a black icing writer or black Sparkle gel to make eight cute little spider legs surrounding the large OREO cookie center. I made them bend by adding an angle but you can keep them straight if you want to keep it super simple.

For the final touches, add two small candy eyes, a candy bow to the spider and then add pretty candies and sprinkles around the cake to seal the deal.
