This cake was for Dawn's baby shower. It was a total surprise to her. The theme was safari to go with the baby's room decor. This cake was a lot of fun. Heather, who is Dawn's sister-in-law, helped with the cake. The top tier and the bottom tier were vanilla cake with a raspberry chambord filling and white chocolate buttercream. The middle tier was chocolate cake with peanut butter filling and icing. Heather made the amazing figures of Dawn and Marcelo sitting on top of the cake. I made the fondant animals, which were a lion, giraffe, monkey and elephant.
On the top and bottom tiers, we covered it in a green fondant onto which we added circle cutouts in a range of browns and bieges. The middle tier was covered in a beige fondant. Then in brown fondant, we applied square and rectangle cutouts. I really think this effect came out amazingly. To finish out the details we made small balls of fondant in contrasting colors to put around each tier. Dawn loved her cake.
