Yield Makes 1 cake (serves 6 to 8)

Number Of Ingredients 21

Orange-Almond Paste
3 cups almonds
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 tablespoon orange-flower water
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Assembly
12 (12- by 17-inch) sheets phyllo dough
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Toppings
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • To Make the Orange-Almond Paste:
  • Combine the almonds, confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom in a food processor or blender and pulse to grind into a coarse meal. Add the butter and egg yolks and pulse until blended. Scrape the paste into a bowl, and stir in the orange-flower water, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla. Divide the paste into 12 balls, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Set the balls on a work surface dusted with confectioners' sugar. Roll each one into a 3 1/2-inch-long log. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • To Assemble the Cake:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a large baking sheet. Dust a work surface with confectioners' sugar. Place a sheet of phyllo pastry on the sugared work surface, and fold it in thirds to form a 4- by 17-inch rectangle. Brush the sheet with melted butter. Add another folded phyllo sheet, brush with butter, and repeat, until you have four buttered sheets.
  • Set four orange-almond paste logs in a row down one long end of the phyllo, and roll the pastry up over them into a cylinder. Fold over the ends and brush on some melted butter to seal the seams. Shape the cylinder into a small, tight coil and place on the baking sheet, seam side down.
  • Repeat to prepare two more phyllo rolls. Add each to the end of the coil on the baking sheet, forming a large coil.
  • Combine the egg yolks, water, and cinnamon. Brush the mixture over the top of the cake.
  • To Bake:
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden. Remove the cake from the oven, and let cool on the baking sheet.
  • To Serve:
  • Stir together the confectioners' sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on the cake, and top with sliced almonds.

Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 10 inch bundt cake (any flavor you like)
2 (16 ounce) cans white frosting
food coloring
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 red fruit roll-ups or 1 fruit leather
assorted decorative candies

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).

Tips:

  • Use a cookie sheet with raised sides. This will help to prevent the batter from spilling over the edges and making a mess in your oven.
  • Line the cookie sheet with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the cake from the pan and will also help to prevent it from sticking.
  • Make sure to grease the parchment paper before pouring the batter onto it. This will help to ensure that the cake doesn't stick to the paper.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan slowly and carefully. You don't want to create any air bubbles, as this can cause the cake to rise unevenly.
  • Bake the cake for the amount of time specified in the recipe. Don't overbake it, or it will become dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before decorating it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Be creative with your decorations! You can use a variety of different candies, sprinkles, and other decorations to make your snake cake look unique.

Conclusion:

Snake cakes are a fun and easy way to celebrate a birthday or special occasion. They're also a great way to get kids involved in the baking process. With a little creativity, you can make a snake cake that's sure to impress your friends and family.
