My husband who has owned snakes and various reptiles for years, usually has his mum (yes even at his age, a family tradition of sorts)make him all various kinds of reptile cakes, but this year she was too busy so I stepped in. I’m not a cook/baker in the slightest, so feeling a little overwhelmed I scanned the web and the first and only site I came into was this one and it gave me the perfect template to make my husband a Snake cake.
I soon found I was spoilt for choice on what design to go for. I used butter cream icing (make loads you will need it, and easier to let it fall from the top to cover sides using a knife to help spread where needed) with mini M&M’s and a sour strip for a tongue, which was held up by cocktail sticks.
With the instructions, tips and super photos I found making the cake very easy and a lot of fun. I’ve just finished it and decided to upload my photo as I’m very proud of my creation.
I look forward to my daughter’s birthday and getting some more ideas from here. Although my husband is turning 29, I think he will love this!
Yes I am the lucky guy! The cake not only looks fantastic but it tasted great too!!
The fact that my wife took the time and effort to bake me the cake, instead of buying a pre-made cake from the local superstore, really touched me.
I love your cake
Now I feel the confidence to try this for my son’s birthday
Thank you
