Coolest King Snake Cake 29

Homemade King Snake Cake

This King Snake cake was made from 2 bundt cakes. Each cake was cut in 1/2 and place end to end to form the snake. A serrated knife was used to carve away cake forming the head and tail.

Using buttercream icing (purchased from a local grocery store bakery by the pound) I piped on the stripes using a small star tip. NOTE: when making red icing, you'll need a LOT of color gel and when making black, start with chocolate buttercream! I piped on ovals for the eyes, two tiny dots for the nostrils and a forked tongue.

It was a little time consuming, but easy enough for even a beginner to do. The kids LOVED it and it tasted great!
