Stork Cake

2 4 x 6 inch bread pans (rectangular)

1 9 inch round cake pan
1 large piece of cardboard, covered in colored plastic wrap
Embellishments; licorice, round candies

Slice one of the bread pan cakes in half to generate the legs for the stork, and cut the other bread pan cake in half diagonally. Place the largest round cake in the center of the plastic wrapped cardboard, then use one of the diagonal pieces to generate the neck, placing the widest end flush against the round cake.
Remove the extra corner that doesn't meet the round one, and place the 6 inch cake here against the cut edge to connect to the head. The widest part of the other diagonal piece should be placed flush against the head to form the stork's beak. Place the legs on the lowest of the body, and ice in white or pale yellow.
The beak and legs can be iced using black, brown, or orange, or appealing yellow icing. Use candies for the eyes, licorice for the wing and for a line straight through the beak. For an extra touch, add a plastic baby from the craft store and wrap in a white cloth, placing the corners of the cloth at the edge of the stork's beak. The cloth can be secured to the cardboard beneath the cake with discreetly placed push pins.
