Cooking Instructions

1. According to manufacturer’s directions bake the batter in two 9-inch round pans. Let cool. Spread jam on one layer and cover with second layer.
2. Flatten one spice drop into an oval 3 ¼-inches long and 1-inch wide, for the nose. For the nostrils make 2 indentations in the spice drop with a small round object, such as the back of a felt tip pen cap. Flatten two spice drops to 3 ¼- inch circles, for the eyes.
3. Paint the oval with black food coloring and let dry completely. Paint the eyes with brown food color and let dry completely.
4. Cut loaf cake in half. Cut the half loaf cake in half diagonally. Cut the bottom off of the muffin (the snout). With frosting adhere the snout to the head.

6. Heat frosting in microwave 30 seconds on high; stir. Heat in 10 second intervals, stirring after each, until frosting is easily pourable.  Pour frosting over cakes and muffin to cover; let dry completely. If needed, scrape excess frosting from cookie sheet, remelt and pour again. Repeat as often as necessary.
