Snake cake: Slithery birthday fun

Filed Under: food, in the kitchen, kids

red, white and blue snake-shaped cake
I adopted my son just after his 10th birthday so we decided to have a belated party. I asked him what shape of cake he wanted He thought about it and answered "rectangle... I'd like a rectangle cake."

When I was a kid my mom always baked up something fabulous every birthday. (My favorite was a Big Bird cake that used a frosted sugar cone for the beak.) So I explained to my son that he had more options besides round, square, and rectangular. He was really excited, but didn't quite know what to do.

After some searching on the internet, we settled on this snake cake. It was right up my son's alley, yet easy enough that I knew I could pull it off. It turned out terribly cute, if I say so myself! Want another creative cake idea? Check out this sushi cake.

    I think that's wonderful that you did the cake and that you helped him choose something really special and memorable. I was very touched by the story. He's a lucky little boy to have such a loving new mom!
