Coolest Pink Jungle Safari Birthday Cake

I made this Homemade Pink Jungle Safari Birthday Cake for my niece’s first birthday. It was only my third cake ever to make, so I was nervous about trying something so challenging! The bottom layer was made with 12″ rounds, a ‘funfetti’ flavor, the middle was vanilla 8″ rounds, and the top was chocolate 6″ rounds. The theme of her party was “Pink Jungle Safari” so the idea evolved from there.

The layers were all covered in fondant, and the jungle animals were also sculpted out of fondant. I also wanted to make this a topsy-turvy cake to make it even more fun. Because it was her first birthday, I also make the little smash cake to accompany it.

The cake was a hit and I was so glad to make it special for my niece!
