This easy Halloween monster sheet cake uses boxed mix (or a scratch-made cake) and frosting of your choice to make this Halloween dessert.Color your batter with 3-4 colors and swirl them together for a spooky, colorful treat.I decorated mine with tons of sprinkles and monster rings that kids (or you) can wash off and wear after eating your cake!

1 9" x 13" sheet cake made with boxed mix or your favorite cake recipe
food coloringI used gel colors in orange, purple, and green
3cupsfrostingeither canned or homemade
½cupHalloween-themed sprinkles
Monster cupcake toppers or rings
Instructions
Line the bottom of a 9" x 13" cake pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Make your batter according to package directions.
Divide the batter among three bowls and color each as desired.
Randomly spoon the three different colors into your cake pan, and then use a knife to swirl them together. Don't do too many swirls or your colors may bleed together and become muddy.
Bake until cake tests done, about 30 minutes.
Cool on a rack for 20 minutes, then carefully turn your cake out on a cooling rack. Place another cooling rack on top of your cake and then flip the whole thing so the top of the cake is up. Allow the cake to cool completely.
Frost as desired and add sprinkles or other Halloween decorations as you wish.
Top each slice of cake with a monster ring (or any desired Halloween decoration).
Notes
For best results with color, use a white cake mix and not a yellow cake mix. Or make a chocolate cake and introduce the colors in the frosting.
