Recipe Introduction
Richard James was a naval engineer. He originally developed the Slinky as an anti-vibration device for ship instruments in the early 1940s. But, when the Slinky didn't work for the Navy, his wife decided it should be turned into a toy. They picked out the name and decided to demonstrate it at Gimbels Department Store in Philadelphia in 1946. An hour and a half after the first demonstration, they had sold 400 Slinkys - and it went on to become one of the most successful toys of all time!

Slinky the Snake (cake)
This is such a cute Idea for Halloween or a reptile themed birthday party. I made one for Halloween! I have not included the time it takes to make the cakes.
2 10 inch bundt cake (any flavor you like)
2 (16 ounce) cans white frosting
food coloring
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 red fruit roll-up or fruit leather
assorted decorative candies
Recipe
You will also need: 1 40x20 cake board covered in foil or paper Cut each bundt cake in half, NOT horizontally, vertically.
Position pieces end to end to make a serpentine shape (like an"S" on it's side) Set it on the cake board with a little bit of frosting as the glue.
Tint your frosting whatever color you'd like your snake to be.
I did a green color.
Frost entire length of cake with the colored frosting, frosting halfway down the sides.
If you do the whole thing you'll need another can or two of frosting.
Place the chocolate chips in a zip bag.
Microwave on MEDIUM (50%) power for 20 to 30 seconds.
Mush the bag a bit and microwave 20 more seconds on medium power until chocolate is melted.
Clip the corner of the bag and use it to make a diamond pattern along the snake's back.
cut the fruit roll-up into a strip that has a forked tongue shape on the end and set under one end of the cake Decorate the eyes and nostrils with the candies
