Homemade Froggie Birthday Cake

Thanks to the posting by Tarra M.,Caldwell, ID (frog 06)for her Froggie Birthday Cake. I followed her instructions to the letter and Voila! A frog cake emerged.

My cupcake eyes were the only part that didn't work easily for me but this was the first character cake I EVER made and my 2 year old daughter LOVED it!

Use a single cake mix (I used a light cake), 9in circle cake pan and 8in square and 2 cupcakes without liners (all using just the one cake mix).

Using the square cake, cut 2 L shapes out for legs, round off the tops and feet. Use the circle cake as is and attach the cupcakes (for eyes) and feet with toothpicks (or 1/2 skewer sticks).

I used the Wilton recipe for buttercream frosting, portioning out amounts for the different colors. I used my cookie press with a star-tip to decorate, starting with the dark green, leaving spots for lighter green spots. I used a pink line for the smile.
