  • several drops black food coloring, or as needed

  • 1(15.25 ounce) packageyellow cake mix

  • 1(16 ounce) containervanilla frosting

Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 2 1/2- to 3-quart oven-proof bowl with floured cooking spray. Place sugar into a bowl and stir in black food coloring until desired color is achieved. Set aside.

  2. Prepare cake batter according to the package directions. Pour batter into the prepared bowl and bake in the preheated oven until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cake cool for 15 minutes in the bowl, then invert and let cake cool completely, about 30 more minutes.

  3. Once cake is completely cool, trim flat side of cake and place onto a cake board. Trim edges into a ball shape. Spread frosting all over cake. Using a toothpick, draw a pentagon in the center top of the cake. Surround the pentagon with five hexagons. Repeat over entire cake.

  4. Cover lines with black licorice cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Fill the pentagon shapes with black-colored white sugar.
