These are some brownies that I made for an event last year. I thought I'd post the photos, in case you're looking for anything cheap and easy, but with wow! factor. I used this recipe for the scratch brownies, but baked them in a conventional oven at 350 F, for about 22-25 minutes.
As you can see by the photos, you don't even need to pipe straight lines!

| Then I "drew" out from the center in all directions, using a toothpick. |

| After creating this weblike design, I piped a spider in the center of the web. See top photo. |
