I think you should try to make one just for fun, perhaps it'll help you get over the fear of snakes. especially if you cartoonify it a bit

Thanks to all of you!

It was extremely difficult to carve this thing out so it made sense!

I have a boa as a pet, my husband is into snakes lol so it was really inspiring to look at it and copy it.

As far as your fear of snakes, I think once you get in the process of making it, baking the cakes, carving and all that you'll be too focused to look at the big picture. It wasnt until I was completely done that I took a step back and saw the final product, before then, I was all up on there getting the small details done. You should try it!!
