Steps

22 minutes

1

Preheat your oven to 180c and prepare two four Inch tins.
2

In the bowl of your mixer, cream together your sugar and butter until smooth.
3

Add your egg and vanilla and mix again.
4

With a spatula gently fold in the flour, salt and baking powder until combined. Divide between two 4" our cake tins. Bake for 22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
5

Allow to cool completely.
6

For the frog- I copied a picture to create my frog, I used green,white and orange fondant. I also cut out some flowers, leaves and my lily pad.
7

Icing- put your room temperature butter into your mixer and mix until it turns white.
8

Add your icing sugar, your choice of extract I used lemon and mix again until combined and silky.
9

Start to assemble your cake. Blob a bit of butter cream in the middle of your cake board and pop half your cake layer over it so it doesn't move.
10

Pipe your icing on your cake until covered then lay your other cake layer on top.
11

Cover completely with butter cream, smooth it out with icing scrapers. Pop it into the fridge to set for 30 minutes
12

Put some blue food dye into the remaining butter cream and mix until you get the right color.
13

Cover your cake with the blue butter cream and use your scraper to make it smooth. Put it back into the fridge for 30-40 minutes
14

Roll out your green fondant to the size of your cake so it will go around then roll it up with your rolling pin.
15

Wrap the fondant around your cake and smooth over with your fondant smoothers so you have green sides and a blue top (that will be your pond) cut off any extra fondant around the top and bottom of the cake to neaten it up.
16

Start to add your fondant leaves, logs, grass and flowers to your cake in any way you like, then pop your frog on the top. Enjoy! 😍😍😍
