Snake Cake

Anthony's Snake Cake Design Instructions:

Follow the Rice Krispies treat recipe and make as many batches as you want the cake size to be (I made 9 batches for the snake shown). Heat your oven to 200 degrees for 10 minutes and then shut it off. Make rice treat recipes and press them into a non-flavored cooking sprayed bundt pan.

Remove them from the bundt pan, place on a cooking sprayed cookie sheet, slice in half, place in the warm oven and repeat. When you've made all the batches, begin assembly.

Using a foam core board covered in aluminum foil, heavily coat it with homemade or store bought white icing dyed green with food coloring and mix in shredded coconut to look like grass. Use a painting or basting brush to have the frosting form tiny peaks like grass.

Begin assembling your snake starting with the head. Using your hands (sprayed lightly with cooking spray), form the head by gently smushing one end of your halved bundt treat until it forms an oval. Work it until it resembles a snake head and a few inches of its body.

Light moisten the end with water and attach another bundt half always smoothing with your hands to hide the seam. Keep doing this until all bundt halves are in place. Be creative in the placement if the halves (look at photos of snakes in nature on the web for ideas).

Make stripes with store bought piping icing along the body of the snake. Follow up with gum drop candies along the snake and use them for eyes. Roll 2 white gum drops to form fangs. Insert a tooth pick half way into the gum drop and put into the snakes upper jaw.
Use licorice for the snakes tongue.
