SNAKE CUPCAKE CAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cups into 12 muffin pan cups; set aside.
• Combine flour, baking powder and cinnamon in bowl; set aside.
• Combine brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter in bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Add half & half alternately with flour mixture, beating well after each addition, until well mixed. Stir in chopped peanuts.
• Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin pan cups. (Cups will be full.) Bake 22-26 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove to cooling rack. Cool completely.
• Combine all frosting ingredients except half & half in bowl; beat at low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium; beat, adding enough half & half for desired spreading consistency.
• Arrange cupcakes in snake form on large rectangular (at least 18x14 inches) platter so they are touching. Frost over all cupcakes. If desired, squeeze front cupcake to create head shape.
• Place candy corn and marshmallows in a zigzag pattern on back to create a stripe. Cut red fruit leather or licorice twist to make forked tongue. Use candy-coated pieces for eyes.

Steps:

• You will also need: 1 40x20 cake board covered in foil or paper Cut each bundt cake in half, NOT horizontally, vertically.
• Position pieces end to end to make a serpentine shape (like an"S" on it's side) Set it on the cake board with a little bit of frosting as the glue.
• Tint your frosting whatever color you'd like your snake to be.
• I did a green color.
• Frost entire length of cake with the colored frosting, frosting halfway down the sides.
• If you do the whole thing you'll need another can or two of frosting.
• Place the chocolate chips in a zip bag.
• Microwave on MEDIUM (50%) power for 20 to 30 seconds.
• Mush the bag a bit and microwave 20 more seconds on medium power until chocolate is melted.
• Clip the corner of the bag and use it to make a diamond pattern along the snake's back.
• cut the fruit roll-up into a strip that has a forked tongue shape on the end and set under one end of the cake Decorate the eyes and nostrils with the candies (I use M&M's).
