When the NFSA shared a photograph of Dame Edna Everage holding a Sydney Funnelweb spider cake on Twitter, academic and artist Sayraphim Lothian was intrigued.
Lothian, a self-proclaimed history nerd, took up our challenge to recreate the cake and this video was born!
Watch to see how she makes those tricky spider legs.
