<p>Arachnophobes look away now! Complete with marshmallowy webs and a sweet Swiss meringue buttercream, our spider cake is sure to be the guest of honour at any party. Use a dash of dark stout in your sponge to bring out the richness of the chocolate. In order to ensure your webs look eerily accurate, chill the cake until the buttercream is very firm. Once it’s finished, let the cake sit at room temperature before serving.</p>
