I really want to make these monster cakes for Halloween (see link below), but unfortunately, DH threw out the magazine. Specifically, I'm looking for the instructions for baking the cake in the bowl to get the right shape. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Dug out DD's - sorry this doesn't give you much time!

1. Make cake batter according to instructions on box.
2. Pour the batter into a greased 2 quart stainless steel or glass mixing bowl.
3. Bake at 325 for 60-70 minutes, cool for 30 minutes.
4. Place a wire rack on rimmed cookie sheet. Turn the cake out onto the rack and remove the bowl. Cool before decorating.

Skin:
Melt a 12 oz bag colored candy melts in the microwave. Pour over cake while on rack and cookie sheet. (You will have leftovers for the eyes.) Allow to harden.

Mouth: cut out of fruit leather

Spots: attach candies with icing (m&ms)

Eyes: Dip one side of marshmallows in melted candy, set on wax paper to harden. Pupils are m&ms attached with icing.


I found but couldn't get this link to work properly, perhaps my browser!
