You did a great job on the spider. I never have very good luck with stencils because they always seem to bleed on me. Job well done!!!

Guilty. I have been know to doctor up a few boxed cake mixes in my time. However, I am so bad at copying templates. I’m sure it’s my deep aversion to sewing which causes it. I too appreciate your frankness when it comes to this luring cover. Thanks for sharing, Lori

P.S. I have found adding a few dribbles of very hot water to the canned frosting makes it less sweeter and easier to spread. In this case, I may have tried a bit of heated orange juice if the notion occurred.

Lori – just saw the new blog (I’ve been offline for a few days preparing for a dinner party)… I love it! What a great idea… Can’t wait to see more of your cover recipes!

Not sure this would have been my pick of recipes for the cover, although it is very festive/seasonal, which they love in magazines.

Everytime we are at the grocery store waiting in line, the kids are always “Eeek! A spider!” when we see that magazine lol!

Yours looks great!! I would’ve had a heck of a time with the sprinkles, that’s for sure! lol
