Birthday Cake Help!
Ladies, I write to you on this Monday morning looking for some culinary advice. My almost 6-year-old would like a frog cake for his birthday party, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about making it! The last time that I attempted a frog birthday cake, the guests all thought that I had made the Arthur character - somehow the frog eyes looked like glasses. I'm considering just making a round cake, frosting it with blue icing to look like a pond, and sticking plastic frog figurines on top. But I would love to make an actual frog cake - so if you have any ideas, please share!

This doesn't look too difficult:

I was just about to post the same link offered by Red - my best friend and I used it to make a frog cake for her little brother, but we changed the construction a little: we baked a round cake for the body, then a separate sheet cake from which we cut the eyes and legs.
I actually think a pond with gummy frogs would be super cool, though!
I haven't made any of these, but there are a lot of ideas and it least it's things that someone made and submitted a picture of! To me, that's more realistic than some magazine versions.

Go, Kat, go! I know you can do it! I am sure your little guy will love whatever you come up with.
