Spider cakes: Delicious or not?

Who thinks of spiders when they are super duper hungry? Definitely not me, but what if you were offered Spider Cakes instead? It would still be a no for me, but the concept is pretty interesting. They kind of look really ugly however, with a cluster of eyes. It makes me slightly nauseous looking at them and that is not how I should be feeling about something I'm meant to eat! There's a recipe of the cakes floating on the Internet and if you like them then it is a pretty easy make.

Ingredients:

-8 regular Pocky sticks (chocolate covered biscuit sticks)
-8 candy eyes
-Dark melting chocolate (melted)
-1 Hostess Ding Dong

Directions:

Spider Legs

1) Slice off the cookie end of the Pocky so the white cookie will not show.
2) Cut the Pocky in half at an angle.
3) Dip one end of both halves of the Pocky stick in the melted dark chocolate.
4) Secure the Pocky halves together at an angle and let the leg dry on a sheet of parchment paper. * Refrigerate the leg for quicker drying.
5) Repeat 7 times. There should be 8 legs total.

Spider Body

1) Glue eight candy eyes onto one side of the Hostess Ding Dong.
2) Use a knitting needle to pre-poke holes into the Hostess Ding Dong to attach the legs.
3) Attach the legs by poking them into the pre-poked holes.

I'd suggest you make this cake for some little one's birthday party. I want to see if the kids run in fear or stare in fascination at this rather hideous spider cake.
