African Sunset Silhouettes/safari

Inspired by some of the great work on CC and on FoodNetwork Mystery Challenge, done for my sister's bridal shower which had an African theme. Each side of the top tier had different animal runouts on a marbled fondant background. Bottom tier was CMMF with fondat zebra/giraffe pattern. Cake topper was a royal icing elephant runout - my sis' favourite animal!

i found images on google,covered with acetate, then basically "traced" with royal icing & filled in (runout), let dry for a couple days, then CAREFULLY peel them off...let me know if you would like more detailed instruction. Thank you all so much for the praise, I am still VERY new to cake-ing and self taught, so it's nice to hear that I'm doing an OK job-I'm so critical of my own work!
