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).

SPOOKY CALZONE SNAKE
I came up with this idea for Halloween. I baked it in an S shape after combining an egg yolk with food coloring (I made several colors with several yolks) and painted to make a colorful striped snake. I used various food items to make a tongue, nostrils, and eyes (olives, peppercorns, fruit roll-up, etc). It was a hit with the kids! Serve with spaghetti sauce for dipping.

Steps:
- Dissolve the sugar in the warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Sprinkle the yeast over the water, and let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam. Stir in the oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour, and mix on Low until the mixture forms a wet dough. With the machine running, add 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup at a time, and knead until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl into a ball. Knead for 3 to 5 more minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Lightly oil a large bowl, then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Combine the ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses, pepperoni, parsley, Italian seasoning, olives, green pepper, and mushrooms in a large bowl, and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Punch down the dough, and roll it out into a long, flat strip about 9 inches wide by 30 inches long. Spoon the filling mixture down the center of the dough strip, leaving about 1 inch on all sides for sealing. Pull edges of the dough together; pinch to seal and form a long, filled roll. Place the roll, seam side down, onto the parchment paper in a snakey "S" shape, and tuck the ends underneath to seal. Beat the egg in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of water, and brush the egg wash over the calzone.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until the calzone is golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before cutting into individual slices.

Tips:
- Choose a sturdy cake base: The cake base should be able to support the weight of the candies and frosting without collapsing. A pound cake or chocolate cake is a good option.
- Use a variety of candies: The more colorful and varied the candies, the more festive the snake cake will be. Hard candies, gummy candies, and chocolate candies all work well.
- Secure the candies with frosting: Use a generous amount of frosting to secure the candies to the cake. This will help to prevent them from falling off.
- Create a snake head and tail: Use a different color or type of candy to create the snake's head and tail. This will help to make the snake more realistic.
- Add finishing touches: Use sprinkles, edible glitter, or other decorations to add finishing touches to the snake cake.
Conclusion:
With its vibrant colors and playful design, the snake cake is sure to be a hit at any party or gathering. This easy-to-make cake is a great way to celebrate a birthday, holiday, or special occasion. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive dessert, give the snake cake a try.
