Easy Bat Cake for Halloween

Halloween is almost here!  You can never be too safe -- don't forget to check all the candy that your kids collect while Trick-or-Treating.  Here's an idea.  While you're checking their treats, why not serve them this cute Bat Cake?  You'll have time to make sure their treats are safe while they enjoy a fun, cake made especially for them on the holiday.  You can easily create this Bat Cake using the downloadable cake pattern from CakeShapes Designs.  This cake  does not require any special shaped cake pans, expensive cake decorating supplies, or special cake decorating skills.  You only need the downloadable cake pattern. Simply bake a 9" round cake and then cut, arrange, and decorate. I iced the cake with gray icing, but chocolate icing would be great too.  I simply added some string licorice along the edges and added two  lemon drops for the eyes and two chocolate chips for the ears.  Your kids will go "batty" for this fun, easy cake.  You can also use the cut up cake pattern for a Batman birthday party, after watching a favorite vampire movie, after watching bats in flight, or to celebrate building a bat house.
