okay so i have disapeared from cake making for 8 months now due to moving south and concertrating on losing 34 lbs but now im ready to get going again

this is so last minute--i need to make the snake cake tonight for my son for graduating kindergarten tommorow. so basically i dont have time to run around after work getting supplies i do have 1 bundt pan and it has ripples on it will this be to hard to use or should i run to walmart to find a smooth one. do they make a smooth one????

please help i reallly want to do this for him he has even noticed that i stopped doing something i loved so much (making cakes) to better my family's life and i want to show him im soooo proud of him

I did a dragon cake for my son's 7th birthday last year using the bundt cake idea. Here are a few links I found:

You don't need a smooth tube pan to do it. I had so much fun with this - I hope you do too!
