Mom Transforms Simple 5 Bundt Cakes Into An Unforgettable Cobra Cake At 5am

Every parent wants to be the best parent they can be for their kids — anytime a kid asks their parent for something, they want to go above and beyond to give them something spectacular.

One mom, Kristi, wanted to make her son something special when he was moving up from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts.

She wanted her creation to show how proud she was of her son, so when inspiration struck, she went with it.

Because her son’s Cub Scouts den was the “Cobra Den,” Kristi decided to make a snake Bundt cake for his Blue & Gold Ceremony.

In order to make the cake, Kristi woke up at 5 a.m. to bake five Bundt cakes. After the cakes were done, she sliced them all down the middle.

Read below to find out how she turned the Bundt cake halves into a cobra!

You need a 6-inch long, heavy-duty plank of wood. Don’t go cheap, because this cake gets heavy!

Wrap it in heavy-duty aluminum foil. 

Also — see how dark it is outside? I started putting this bad boy together at 5 a.m., so the cake would be ready to decorate by 9 a.m. *Yawn*

Form your head and tail using Rice Krispie treat mix. 

A good mix for this is 3 tablespoons butter (melted over low heat), 4 cups mini marshmallows (melted with butter over low heat), and 6 cups rice cereal.

You’ll need 2 batches for this cake. Allow this to cool for about five to 10 minutes. 

What you’re looking for is the rice to not be gooey and be able to hold its shape.

You’ll need five Bundt cakes for this recipe. 

If you don’t have a Bundt cake pan, go look in the thrift store. There always seems to be at lease ONE there — or borrow a friend’s.

I found that a good baking time for a Bundt pan was 325 degrees for 40 minutes. 

Let them cool before removing the cakes from the pan, and DON’T level them! Leave that rounded top. 

Cut 4 of the cakes in half.
