- Place one cake round on your serving platter as the bat's body. Cut the second cake into a zigzag/diamond pattern down the center to create wings and ears.
- Position the body cake centrally. Arrange the zigzag pieces on either side for wings. Place the small diamond pieces at the top of the body for ears.
- Cover the entire cake with black frosting using an offset spatula for a smooth finish.
- Pipe purple frosting details along the wings to enhance the bat-like look. Use orange frosting to add accents inside the ears.
- Pipe two white frosting eyes on the body, add tiny black pupils. Pipe an orange nose. Add white fangs under the nose.
- Slice and serve your spooky bat cake.
