Snake Cake

[koubee]

Very cool cake, hmmmm that looks the easiest, anyone know how i'd do a coiled snake?


And how did they make the black colouring? Can you buy black food colouring?

 

[bubba]

my sister has a kids cake book, i can see if she has a snake one in there if you like

 

[hazzard]

Just cut a circular butter cake (whole in middle) in half and join together in an s shape with some icing!

Black icing comes in powder form from a proper cake shop, cake decorating supplies or place like that!

Licorice forked tounge!

Cheers

Don't go Licorice

Avoid if possible as not all kids like the taste of it. And as Hazzard said, Toilet may get a bit blocked up later on when it goes through the system. :lol:

You can get all sorts of food colourings. Try and specialty shop or deli etc. You've got that little Plaza neaqr you maybe something in there.

This is by far the easist to make. A heap of Chocolate biscuits and even more cream.

STick them together and then you can put either food dye, sprinkles etc etc for markings.

Very easy, no stress and yummy as all hell.


DONT BAKE - WHIP

And you could hide the snake cake underneath it - like a hide of sort

And Hazzard... are you only three? I thought you were older than that - you seemed so much more mature

I think i will make wholemeal snake pastry puffs for the little boy today they're nice and healthy with a good twist of mince meat in the middle!!!

 

[shamous1]

Are those?

Are those Magic Mushies hanging out the sides.:shock:

Is it a Yule cake or a hash cake:lol:

one of the cakes i made for a client (me chef ROAR)
was kind of like a coiled cake....

basicly, go for 4 or 5 round cakes (not too high, like 5cm tops thickness)

when they cool stack them on top of each other

like this

[[[[[[[[]]]]]]]]]
[[[[[[[[[[[[]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

from there it would be quite easy to carc into a snake shape (making the top piece the head...

if ou want to get intricate (like i would)
dye some white chocolate, melt it, and spread it out on baking paper REALLY thin, then cut into scales (i have never done anything like that before, but i imagine it would be quite easy once i worked out how).

then ice the cake with a ganache, then use tweezers to put the scales on....

depending on where you are located, when the birthday is, and if you want to pay someone else to do it, i may be able to help you


EDIT: you see what i mean with the stacking, but it changed my format (like a wedding cake)

I am willing to volunteer as official cake taste tester

I know what kind of cake i'm having next year!

 

[Magpie]

A round cake, carve a spiral shape into the top to make a coiled snake?
