Lemon: the shy snake cake

[BoomerBile]

Meet Lemon!
Isn't he just the cutest lemon snake cake?


He was inspired by a cake I saw on 9gag over a year ago. (It isn't up anymore)
My friend has/loves snakes, and this was just the cake for her 21st birthday.
The original was a little too realistic (for some of my other snake-phobia friends), so I made him pleasantly plump with big black eyes.


The cake was extra yummy with 1/3cup fresh grated lemon zest (6 lemons) added to the mix.
His head was a giant cake ball made from scraps after sculpting his body.


Here he is with the lucky birthday girl.



Thanks for looking!
<3

***PS: I am happy to report, he was a big success at the party!!!

He's so cute! I don't think I could have cut into him. Too pretty

The birthday girl had the same problem. She let me have the honor of that job.

Oh my gosh, he's so cool! I'm not a big snake fan, but now I want a cake like that!

Glad he brought you joy. ^_^
I'm thinking of making another one now.
Maybe chocolate with anaconda markings.
