Frog Cake Tutorial- My Cake School

Are you ready for more cuteness? Today we’re making an adorable miniature frog cake!

I just love Wilton’s mini wonder mold pans and this sweet frog cake is just another reason why!  I usually just make one at a time, either to use as a fun cake topper or a centerpiece on a platter of cupcakes!

 

Let’s get started! Here is our mini wonder mold cake.

First, I coated with a yummy, crusting vanilla buttercream.  I waited for it to crust, then smoothed with a Viva paper towel.The cutest mini frog cake tutorial by MyCakeSchool.com! Makes a great cake topper! Free tutorial.

Next, I decorated assorted, small sugar cookies with royal icing.   I outlined with stiff royal icing, flooded with loose royal icing.  These are going to be cupcake toppers!  I set aside a couple of small round ones…you’ll see why later.Such a cute mini frog cake tutorial by MyCakeSchool.com!

As the icing becomes hard, it’s safe to decorate your cookies with stiff consistency royal– If this is a little boy’s party, you’ll probably go with a different color scheme…maybe even pipe some creepy crawlers onto the cookies….but, I tend to go girly whenever possible…hence the pink and yellow and cute little dragonflies and daisies :0)

Here are those couple of cookies that I mentioned earlier– I poked toothpicks into them, and layered on some fondant froggy eyes.  (You could also pipe royal icing eyes onto the cookies….or make marshmallow eyes with chocolate chip centers) —Adorable mini frog cake tutorial by MyCakeSchool.com!

Froggy needs a tongue–so he can catch flies, bugs, and nearby cupcakes.  Mine is gum paste, that I allowed to dry nice and wavy and pinched around a piece of 20 gauge floral wire on one end. Cute mini frog cake tutorial by MyCakeSchool.com! Online cake tutorials and recipes!

Now, let’s check in on Froggy– eyes make all the difference!  So do legs, piped in buttercream (I’m only halfway through the job) — and of course, a smile.  Nobody likes a grumpy frog.

Lucky for us, BeBe just so happens to have a fish pond in her back yard!  Isn’t this the CUTEST?  I love the little cookie cupcake toppers—and Froggy steals the show!  Usually, the birthday boy or girl gets to eat the frog….but since I don’t see and birthday boys or girls around, I guess I’ll have to take care of it :O) —   Goodbye for now, happy caking!

    These are wonderful. What type of pan/container did you use to make the cake base for the frog?
