There are two ways to draw cobwebs on a cake... 1). Frost the cake in white icing. Draw thin black circles, about 3 or 4, around each other (like a bulls-eye). Using a toothpick, darw a line from the center circle to the outside, dragging it through the icing. Do this five or six times per set of circles. This will drag the icing, making it look like a cobweb. 2). Draw 5 or 6 criss-crossing lines ( "/" "l" "-" ect.). Using a sweeping motion, connect each line to the one next to it to form a thin strand of icing.
