Matt was on a father-son camp out for Church this past Friday (with his imaginary son...). While the boys were occupied doing 'manly' things in the mucky outdoors: playing football (soccer), eating cookies and - shall I say it? Urinating in the woods.
The girls and I did girly things at home - baking cakes and playing Barbies. The highlight of our evening was making this Snake Cake for a cake competition we entered Saturday morning...
The girls mixed the cakes and poured the batter into the bundt pans. My sole responsiby was putting the cakes in and out of the oven. I also cut the cakes in half and arranged them in 'the snake position.' Once cooled, I mixed up the frosting and let Amy do the spreading. She did an amazing job. Afterwards, the girls decided on a pattern for the Smarties candies that went on top of the snake.

Amy also piped on the chocolate lattice pattern. (We melted chocolate and put in a ziploc baggie, then cilpped the corner and piped it on). Then it was Emily's turn to arrange the Smarties on top.

And here is the finished product which won Second Prize in the Children's Cake category. Well done Girls!

Awesome, awesome cake! I'm wondering how long it will take you to eat that cake... do you still have some hanging around? And tell Emily that she did a lovely job with the Skittles.
ReplyDeleteHi Lana! I Googled "Snake Birthday" for my daughter's upcoming snake-themed party (she pulled the idea out of thin air- I have no idea where it came from) and your cute cake popped up. I figured out the cake part, but how did you make that tongue?? Would you mind sharing? I hope you get comment notifications! ;D -Summer (summervwatgmaildotcom)
