The snake, however, was the most life-like and amazingly flexible considering what he had to go through in transport...... Some day you should write about your secret way of resurrecting a dismembered snake. <br />Good job, Aidan! Your architectural skills were unmistakeable. I'm putting in my order for my birthday cake.

Don't be surprised if one of your family decides to take up cake baking when THEY have kids. My son decided his daughter needed to have special cakes like he did when he was a kid, so boy! They remember & love it, even if they don't think such stuff has made a big impression on them.<br /><br />Way to go Super Mom & Aunty!Rural Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002037737807956337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-52843338636644859072009-06-22T21:53:04.112-07:002009-06-22T21:53:04.112-07:00Very clever!

You have made some wonderful cakes over the years, and your use of bundt shape to form the snake is really clever! <br /><br />I learned a tip in pastry school that is soooo helpful when creating carved cakes. If you freeze the cake, and work with it while frozen, the crumb and breakage problem is dramatically reduced. It makes it extremely easy to carve any shape you like! and when you put your first coat of buttercream on (crumb coat) while the cake is still frozen, it seals the cake and seals the crumbs in. Then you can do a second coat of frosting that is crumb-free.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5845299642721912499.post-52059163810661570562009-06-22T15:46:31.977-07:002009-06-22T15:46:31.977-07:00Very impressive Dani, you may have the beginings o...Very impressive Dani, you may have the beginings of a new career.
