Prepare green velvet cake first.  In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa and salt.  Whisk until combined.  In the bowl of the stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the oil and sugar.  Add eggs, vanilla and green gel paste.  Mix until combined.  Add half of the flour mixture, and then half of the buttermilk.  Repeat.  In a separate small bowl combine baking soda and vinegar.  Quickly add mixture to batter and mix for about 10-15 seconds.  Dived batter equally between the pieces of the giant cupcake mold. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.  Leave to cool on a cool rack for 10 minutes before removing from mold.  Allow to cool completely before decorating. <\/p>\n<p>To decorate into a Kermit cake, prepare coloured buttercreams.  <br \/>For the eyes, cut a small slice off the bottom of each of the Oreo&#39;s so that the eyes will sit flat on the cake.  Dip both cookies into the melted chocolate and allow to harden.  Once hardened, paint on the pupils by making a circle in the centre, and a line through the centre, continuing slightly outwards.   <br \/>Once the cake is cooled, level each layer, and attach on top of each other with a layer of buttercream.  Using a serrated knife, cut a piece out of the up part of the cake, in line with the bottom layer, that will act as the mouth.  <br \/>Cover entire cake in green buttercream, leaving the mouth portion without.  Use the red buttercream to cover in mouth portion, and apply a small amount of pink buttercream for the tongue.  <br \/>Once the eyes are hardened trim off any excess white chocolate, and insert a toothpick into the flat portion of the cookie.  Place the other end of the toothpick into the cake, near the top, centre.  Repeat for the second eye. <br \/>The final step is to roll out your green fondant and cut into long, narrow triangles.  Place these at the base of the giant cupcake (Kermit&#39;s neck) and place them all the way around.  <br \/>Serve and enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>Instagram: http:\/\/instagram.com\/CupcakesandCardio#<br
