\"Duck<\/figure>\n\n\n

Doing an Easter cake is becoming a yearly thing over here, and it has been a blast. In 2016, there was the infamous bunny cake<\/a> (still far and away the most popular post on the blog). The bunny was followed by the chick<\/a>, who was followed by a lamb<\/a>. And this year, I decided to do a duck.<\/p>\n

This little guy comes from the Baker’s Coconut Animal Cut-Up Cake<\/a>. The original is called Quack-Quack the Duck and was decorated with coconut. I just updated the design a little by shortening the neck and wing to bring the proportions in line, and gave him a buttercream makeover.<\/p>\n

\"Duck<\/p>\n

If you’re not familiar with cut-up cakes, they’re simply a method to make creatively shaped cakes from standard shaped pans. This duck comes from a single 9 inch round. Clever cutting and placement gives this duck his shape.<\/p>\n

Now, if you’re like me, cutting pieces so that you get the right proportions sounds like a nightmare. I can barely cut a straight line, much less a perfect curve that intersects the outside at exactly 4 1\/2 inches from the top center. Which us what the original  instructions tell you to do.<\/p>\n

So I made a template<\/a> for the cutting-challenged like myself. The math is all done for you – just print, place, and cut!<\/p>\n

I’ll put my favorite cake and frosting recipe here for you, but feel free to use any cake or frosting recipe you like!<\/p>\n\n
