For my Dad's birthday a couple of years ago I decided to make a copperhead. The reason I did this is because we went camping that summer, and I almost stepped on a copperhead. My Dad ended up killing it.
I made the cake using 2 round yellow cakes. I iced the cake and then covered it in fondant. I airbrushed the cake a light orange color and used thinned food color gel to color on the stripes.
The head is made from Rice Krispy treats.
Hope you enjoy my skin crawling snake.
