Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare three round cake pans by greasing them with clarified butter and lining with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions. Divide the batter evenly into the three cake pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
- Cream softened butter until fluffy, then gradually add powdered sugar. Pour in cream as needed to achieve a smooth frosting consistency.
- Divide frosting into four bowls. Leave one portion dark green and dye the others with gel colorings until vibrant.
- Assemble the cake by placing the first layer on a plate, piping rings of colored frosting on top, alternating colors for the second and third layers.
- Cover the entire cake with the dark green frosting and smooth with an offset spatula.
- Apply Halloween sprinkles generously on the cake's top and sides.
- Pipe decorative dollops on top and chill the cake for about 30 minutes before serving.
