In a separate jug , whisk eggs, milk and vanilla extract.

Poke cakes with a cocktail stick, if it comes out clean, they are cooked. :) let them cool for about 5 minutes before decorating

Put on a blue icing layer, this is the pond

Crumble some excess cake and dot it around the edges to look like rocks or river debris.

Add green in between for grass or river weeds.

A ball for the head

Stick together. I use a cocktail stick to keep in place

Add an orange beak
