Snake Cake

My son turned 4 this April and well it's been pretty hard financially lately I decided to make a "cool " cake at home well at least try.
He enjoys watching the animal planet and has a new thing about snakes lately.

So I thought about making a snake cake and well after thinking about it a while figuring out how I would do this. I came up with using two 9in round cakes, then I cut out the middles, going in about 2-3 inches. Then I cut the cakes in half and put together in a snake pattern.

I froze the cakes before frosting them for about 2 hrs. I made green frosting with cream cheese frosting and green food coloring, used M&Ms for eyes and red licorice for the tongue.

Well, I think overall it came out pretty good, my son was very happy with his "cool" cake.
