Make cake.

Stick snakes in top of cake.

  2. Amanda, this is such a cool cake. I love the simpler styled cakes (probably because I’m still learning how to even frost a cake smoothly). I have been following your blog of a while now and too live in the twin cities and love, love, love to bake cookies and cakes. I even attempted the rainbow cake (except using different colors) for my daughter’s 2nd birthday. You are truly talented and it’s a joy to see what you’re creating. I’m praying God’s protection and blessings over you and your pregnancy.

  5. I tried something similar to this recently but on a much smaller scale. I made chocolate cups and wrapped them in PhotoFrost sheets so that you would not get chocolate on your fingers. Then i added my filling and piped some chocolate onto wax paper to make the crazy hair. thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to the holidays and some cooler weather.

  9. Love love love the cake- curious though about those snakes on top. They seriously did not break when you put them in, or fall over on top? Still trying to figure out how that works. And apparently, you didn’t have to use any special chocolate tempering skills to make them? May have to just try it to see for myself. Thanks for the beautiful idea!
