She saw this cake on Cake Central. (Best place to get tips, help, and idea for a cake). The Original Sugar Artist had a great vision on this piece and my customer wanted to share it with friends and family. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Calligraph421 BT'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">To keep cost down, I used 5 boxes of Cake Mixes instead of doing it from scratch. The entire cake was filled with Strawberry Filling. Used star tip # 17; a 12” Round Pan (2 Chocolate Cake Mixes), a 10” Square Pan for the legs (2 Vanilla Cake Mixes), ½ of Vanilla Cake Mix to make 4 Jumbo Cupcakes (2 extra’s just in case), and the other ½ on a 6” Smash Cake for the Birthday boy which I free hand the frog and alternated the colors. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All covered in Vanilla Butter Cream. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Total of 5 boxes, I had to go up in size do to the count of people attending. Original Cake called for 8” and a 9”. This was fun and a very long project. The worse part of this project was, I did it in 95 ̊̊weather, with NO air conditioning… not fun!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Calligraph421 BT'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Love to hear what you guys think… Happy Baking! </span><br />
