A little safari!




My baby turned 1, and I thought a safari theme would be cute. This cake is a 3 tier, 15", 10" & 6" round layers. The bottom layer is a white almond sour cream cake with a chocolate cream filling, covered in a vanilla butter cream then covered in a rolled marshmallow fondant. The 2nd tier is a chocolate black forest cake, with 3 fillings: chocolate cream, cherry filling & whipped cream, covered in a chocolate butter cream then in a rolled fondant. The top tier is a french vanilla cake with a cinnamon & sugar cream cheese filling covered in a cream cheese butter cream then a rolled fondant. I sculpted all the animals out of marshmallow fondant as well. On the top is a giraffe, elephant & some lady bugs, 2nd tier some bees & on the bottom an alligator, lion, hippo & a monkey. It was a lot of fun to make, and a tough act to follow for birthday #2!
