Glad to see they have made it to the States, albeit sadly deformed! <br /><br />Comparing the rip-offs of my childhood to the official version (which can be seen at http://www.balfours.com.au/img/green-frog-cake.jpg), the ones I've bought have been less cake and more just fondant-covered cream in a cupcake wrapper. And no, nobody should eat that much fondant or buttercream icing in one sitting, but the ones I've sampled use pink sugar cream (which you can see through the cut-open mouth), and are so sickly sweet I doubt anyone should eat a whole one either!<br /><br />And oh, I finally get the 'wv' or word verification bit ... you have to go to the 'post a comment' section to get it.theangelJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01810328354620654615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-87901675087681962202009-10-05T01:22:57.087-04:002009-10-05T01:22:57.087-04:00Those green blobs I think are knock offs of the So...Those green blobs I think are knock offs of the South Australian icon (I'm not kidding, I'm a South Aussie) The Frog Cake that can be found in Balfours Bakeries especially in Adelaide (yes they are a retro throwback).

The girls on there were making a wedding cake for one of their friends who wanted cupcakes in addition to a cake. When they cooked the cupcakes they ended up coming out lopsided and the same shape as those things. So the girls on the show gave them eyes and called them manatees! It was funny on the show, why anyone would maybe want to recreate them is beyond me.
