Minecraft Creeper Cake

I made this cake for my boyfriend's birthday last year and he loved it! The best part was, it was super simple!

For those who dont know, in the game Minecraft, the creeper is exactly that "creepy", they creep up on un-suspecting players, blowing up which kills you and them and you lose everything you are carrying and have to respawn, which really stinks....

I had every intention of making this cake just a regular creeper head, but I am no pro baker, and I have never been able to figure out how to frost a cut edge (which I had to do because EVERYTHING in Minecraft is square, so I couldn't possibly have a rectangle creeper cake, that just wouldn't do....) without making an EPIC mess :/ so i used that edge to my advantage :D

All you need is:
cherry chip or any other red box cake mix (or you can use white cake with red food coloring)
green frosting
black decorating gel (which you can buy from most stores in the cake aisle)
green decorating gel (optional) for words

1. cut the cake so it is a square (i just eye-balled it).
2. Frost the entire cake green (except the cut edge)
3. With the cut edge towards you make 2 squares for the eyes, 1 square nose (which connects the two eyes) and then an upside down squared-off U shape frown for the mouth (connected to the nose)

Simple as pie! ....well or in this case, cake :D Enjoy!
