RECIPE TIPS:
- For this recipe, we used small containers of cake frosting, such as Betty Crocker icing. To portion out the icing, you will need a piping bag. You can either buy plastic piping bags for this recipe, or use a plastic sandwich bag by filling the bag with icing in one corner and cutting the tip off of the corner to create a small hole to pipe the icing through. If you use this method, make sure to pipe carefully so the tip does not tear and become too wide.
- You want the tip of your piping bag to be cut small, whether you use a true piping bag or a plastic baggie with a hole cut, so you can properly make the Spiderman web decoration and easily draw his eyes.
- We recommend using Wish Farms berries for best results. They are always so perfectly sweet and juicy!
Spider-Man Web Berry Dessert Instructions
Creating the Spider-Man web is the most “challenging” part of this simple dessert recipe, but it really isn’t that hard—we promise. If you mess it up, just wipe it off and start again!
Layering the berries:
- Cut ¾ of the strawberries into slices. You want to reserve the remaining ¼ to create the Spider-Man faces.
- Fill the middle of a plate with a mix of blackberries and blueberries in a neat pile.
- Surround the blackberry and blueberry pile with two neat rows of strawberries. We recommend layering them like flower petals so none of them overlap.
Creating the Spider-Man web:
- Starting from the center of the berry pile, draw eight lines extending to the end of the plate with vanilla icing, about 3 strawberry slices of width in between for reference.
- Connect the ends of each line with a slight inwardly curving line. Continue to create inwardly curving lines until you reach the center. Make sure the the lines are curving TOWARD the center, and not away, or it will not look like a Spider-Man web.
How to draw Spider-Man face:
- Cut the tops off of your remaining strawberries.
- Carefully draw a thick line of vanilla icing for each eye. Keep in mind the shape of Spider-Man’s eyes: they slant down inwardly, and have a “sharp” look to them.
- Outline the vanilla icing with a thin line of chocolate icing.

Recipe
Spider-Man Web Berry Dessert
Ingredients
- 1 lb. strawberries
- ½ cup blackberries
- ½ cup blueberries
- 3 Tbsp. vanilla icing
- 1 Tbsp. chocolate icing
Instructions
Preparing the berries
- Cut ¾ of the strawberries into slices. Set aside the remaining strawberries to create the Spider-Man faces.
- Fill the middle of a plate with blackberries and blueberries in a neat circular pile.
- Make 2 rows of strawberry slices around the blackberries and blueberries in a "flower petal" pattern so that none of them overlap.
Creating the Spider-Man web
- Starting from the center of the berry pile, draw eight equally spaced straight lines of vanilla icing towards the edge of the plate. There should be about 3 strawberry slices width in between each line, for reference.
- Connect the ends of each line by drawing a curving inward line. You want to make sure the line curves towards the center of the berry pile, and not the other way around, for a proper spiderweb.
- Continue drawing inwardly curving lines between the straight lines until you reach the center. You want the ends of each curving line to touch.
Creating the Spider-Man faces
- Cut the tops off of your remaining strawberries.
- Add a thick line of vanilla icing for each eye. Remember, Spider-Man's eyes curve downward at the bottom and have a "sharp" look.
- Outline the vanilla icing with a thin line of chocolate icing to emphasize the eyes.
