Frog in a barrel cake

This cake was a barrel of fun to make. *Knee slapping* Ok - enough. Really, this cake let my imagination stretch. The only idea I had starting this cake was that the person getting this cake loved frogs and was a retired officer. That my caking friends, left the door wide open to some cake fun.

This was a lot of cake, per usual. It was 3 layers of 9" round chocolate cake on bottom and 3 layers of 6" round chocolate cake on top as well. All decoratins are made of fondant or something edible except the white flag pole. Cakers, enjoy the splendor of the Frog in a Barrel Cake.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDADDY!
