This Jungle Zebra Birthday Cake I made for my son’s 1st birthday. The top layer is chocolate and the bottom layer is vanilla.
All the animals are made by hand from fondant. I covered the cakes in butter icing (for flavour and to help make the rolled fondant stick). I then covered them one at a time with thin fondant. I then placed on on top of the other before sticking the black zebra stripes on with a little water.
I placed the animals around and also stuck them into place with water. The giraffe has two tooth picks in his neck to hold it up.
The cake was time consuming as I have never decorated one like this before. With practice, I think it would get quicker.
I got ideas for the design from the internet. I took ideas from lots of different cakes and put them all together.

Did you use dowel rods to support your cake?
How do I order one and get it shipped to Michigan
Yes, I used three rods to support the top layer. It was a lot heavier than I was expecting!
This is a beautiful cake. I love decorating cakes and going to make a safari cake for my sons 2nd birthday party. You did a great job on this cake.
