Get Creative: Frog Cakes

Thursday 6th February 2014

Follow these instructions from Annette Heddle, 2nd Witham, for how to make Frog Cakes.

Equipment

• Pre-made fairy cakes (or follow recipe for baking in Anchors Programme Pack 1, Creativity)
• Green ready-made icing
• Icing Sugar
• Mini Marshmallows
• Black icing pen
• Cola laces
• Cutter (approx. size of fairy cakes)

Prepare first!

Roll out green icing and cut up into pieces for each child, with enough to cover the cake and make the eyes. Have pots of icing sugar and marshmallows ready.

Instructions

1. Divide green icing up and use cutter to get a circle big enough to cover the whole cake.
2. Cover the fairy cake with icing (made from icing sugar) and then place green icing on top.
3. With the left over green icing make 2 balls and push a marshmallow into each ball and then put balls onto the cake using the sugar icing to make eyes.
4. Put a black icing dot on each eyeball and either use cola laces or the black icing for the mouth.
