Add blue and black for the iris and pupil. Shape the legs (216g) and the arms (91g) with lime green fondant (mixed with tylose).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Prepare cakes according to the recipe, and color the batter according to the drop amounts listed above.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Once cakes have cooled completely, place the darkest one on a cake board, attaching with a swipe of buttercream. Cover that layer with a thin layer of vanilla buttercream. Place the 9\u201d cake on next, cover with buttercream, then the next darkest 8\u201d cake. Finish the stack of cakes, with the lightest green one.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To begin carving the cake, start at the top, and gradually shape the cake to be at it\u2019s widest at the 9\u201d cake level, tapered under the 9\u201d level, and then rising up to be smallest at the top. Reserve some of the cake scraps to make cake pop mixture for the vocal sac.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Attach the vocal sac to the front of the cake. Cover the cake entirely in vanilla buttercream.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Place a ring of fondant around the top of the cake, above the vocal sac.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Roll out fondant, \u215b\u201d in thickness and drape over the cake. Smooth the fondant into place with your hands and a fondant smoother.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Attach the arms, legs and eyes using skewers or spaghetti noodle.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Serve the cake when desired and consume within 2-3 days.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_target addtoany_list\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a class=\"a2a_button_facebook_like addtoany_special_service\" data-href=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=9461\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_twitter_tweet addtoany_special_service\" data-count=\"none\" data-url=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=9461\" data-text=\"How to Make a 3D Frog CAKE!\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_google_plusone addtoany_special_service\" data-annotation=\"none\" data-href=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=9461\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_pinterest\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/pinterest?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcookiescupcakesandcardio.co%2F%3Fp%3D9461&amp;linkname=How%20to%20Make%20a%203D%20Frog%20CAKE%21\" title=\"Pinterest\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/icons\/pinterest.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Pinterest\"\/><\/a><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nwpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I\u2019m showing you how to make a 3D Frog Cake!
