I have a customer that wants a dissected frog cake for her birthday. She is a biology teacher. Does anyone have any ideas on where to start?

Wow! What a cool idea!! I hate animal dissection in real life, but in a cake it would be cool. I found a pic of one http://homepage.mac.com/eliezersilver/iblog/B828340566/C400897704/E679119/Media/DSCF1250.jpg Good luck and post pics

Wow, that'll be a gross one to make. Here's what you get at Google Images. Yuck.

Wow! What a crazy cake. I wonder how many "it tastes like chicken!" jokes will be told. Or how many - I'll just have a piece of the leg. LOL

That would be AWESOME to make. I'm officially jealous. :p

Do it in fondant so you can have the "skin" peeled back to reveal the insides. Make a scalpel and a pair of tweezers from gumpaste to place on the cake board. Don't make it too realistic, but there has to be some level of "eeeeeew" to make it cool.

My brother teaches biology. I think he would LOVE a cake like this. Too bad I'm not that talented!

OK... this is funny! I think I want to make one as a joke for my Mom. She hates... and I mean HATES frogs. When I was in 7th or 8th grade (whenever it is that you dissect frogs)... I brought mine home from school and stuck it in the fridge to mess with her. She freaked out! I was a really obnoxious teenager. Anyway... this would be a funny cake to make, but of course I'd make her a real cake too. One that's actually pretty.

Please posts pics when done... that is going to be one cool cake..

I would go for more fun, less yuck. Make the whole table area, with the tools, yet make the froggy escaping off of the side of the cake.

Thanks for the ideas! I don't know if I am that talented, but will soon find out.
