Snapping Good Crocodile Cake!
|
1. Cut the Bundt cake into 3 equal pieces.
|
2. Slice one of the pieces in half at an angle.
|
3. Arrange the cake pieces on a long tray or serving platter, using one of the angled halves as a tail. Cut the other half into 4 equal-size pieces and set them in place for feet.

Tint the can of white frosting with green food coloring and use it to frost the entire cake. Tip: Mix the coloring and
the icing right in the container.
Cut the large marshmallow in half and place the halves on the cake for eyes. Add 2 malted milk balls on the
snout for nostrils and 2 more on the marshmallow halves for pupils.
Use a dab of frosting to help them stick. Line gummy spearmint leaves and green M&M's along the body for
scales and add spearmint leaf toes to each foot.
Lastly, break the yogurt- covered pretzels into pieces and stick them in the frosting along the front of the cake for
teeth. Now your croc is ready to eat -- or should we say be eaten. The croc cake serves 10 generously.
Instructions
First, frost the top, sides, and bottoms of both a regular-size cupcake and a mini cupcake with white frosting.
For each cupcake, frost the bottom first; then use a fork stuck into the bottom to hold the cupcake while you
frost the rest of it.
Roll the cupcakes in shredded coconut; then, working on waxed paper, set the cupcakes on their sides with the
top of the smaller cupcake stuck to the bottom of the larger one to form the bear's head.
Add 2 horizontal slices from a large white gumdrop for ears, a Junior Mint candy for a nose, and 2 chocolate
chips for eyes. For each cub, frost a mini cupcake and a large gumdrop, then roll them in coconut and arrange
them on their sides as shown. Add 2 horizontal slices from a small white gumdrop for ears, a chocolate chip
nose, and 2 mini chocolate chip eyes.
Ingredients Light-colored cupcakes, 1 regular and 3 mini White frosting Shredded coconut 3 large and 2 small white gumdrops 1 Junior Mint candy Chocolate chips, 4 regular and 4 mini
