Would You Love a Snake Cake on Your Birthday?

I personally can't near a snake or anything that looks like it, not even a plastic snake toy. For anyone to prepare something that I'm meant to eat look like a snake, will certainly spoil my day and bring ugly memories in the future.

37-year-old, Francesca Pitcher, from Maidstone, Kent, decided to bake a snake cake for her daughter Claudia's 6th birthday.

Francesca, baked the equivalent of six sponge cakes before carving and sculpting them into the slinky appearance of the python, one of the most lethal non-venomous snakes in the world. She spent a painstaking 12 hours decorating the unlikely birthday cake until it looked like a convincing albino Burmese python. And when she finally brought out the white-chocolate masterpiece at the party, guests weren't sure if it was a snake or a cake.


She used a white chocolate fondant and applied a special dye to make the skin and replicate the distinctive markings of the dangerous snake.

Despite its realistic appearance, Claudia and her 26 friends loved the cake and fought over who was going to eat the head. But some of their parents were left 'freaked out' by it.

Would you or your child have this as a birthday cake?, tell me what you think by leaving me a comment below.
