My daughter loves elephants and giraffes so I knew she was going to want a safari themed cake for her 4th birthday. After looking around on the internet for ideas I came up with this Safari Cake Design.
I made the cake in a larger rectangular pan. I believe it was a 11×17 pan. I had to use 2 boxes of cake mix to fill the pan. The pond is made out of blue gel and the sand around the edge is light brown sugar. To make the palm trees I made leaves out of icing and let them dry on wax paper. Once the leaves were dry I used more icing to “glue” the leaves onto the pretzel rods and then put the pretzel rods into an upside down paper cup which I place a hole in. I let them dry overnight.
Right before my daughter’s birthday party I placed the palm trees into the cake. The cake was pretty easy to do and it was a hit at the party!
