Frog Cake

So I thought.... what if I take a round cake and then cut a cupcake in half for frog eyes. Would it work? Well...stay tuned. The cake is in the oven, and we'll see what it looks like when I'm done.

Also, my kids were begging to mop, and guess what! I let them. Hey - it actually helped. I'm way impressed. Guess who has a new chore;) I'm so happy.

Pictures of cake disasters are surely to follow;)

edited to add: Well here is a speed version. I didn't want to deal with coloring icing (and everyone wanted chocolate) or making the pretty little decorated icing drops so I just smeared chocolate all over it and at K's request put green sprinkles and a red sprinkle mouth. I wonder how this one will turn out when it is decorated "properly." I think I like the shape well enough though. As I was making it I couldn't help but think how very simple this idea was and that Casie or Jessica or someone of the like would have whipped this idea up within seconds of Kaitlin's frog shaped cake request.
