This is my Medusa cake. It is chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and milkchocolatesnakes.

Seriously could not be easier to do. Melt some chocolate in plastic bag in microwave. Pipe out weird snake lookin like shapes. Let cool.

Make cake.

Make frosting.

Stick snakes in top of cake.

Viola.

Just dont look at it too long…

Ugh. I should have thought this through more.

You can just go right ahead and look at this cake all you want! So there mythical scary-in-her-day-but-not-quite-anymore creature!

  7. I wish I saw this earlier! I just had a Halloween party last night and I was dressed up as Medusa. Still, I love how simple the design is, yet it’s still visually impressive.
