Madagascar Birthday Cake

Madagascar Birthday Cake on Cake Central

I ditched the idea of a frosted cake with Madagascar figurines on it for my son's third birthday party. If you haven't seen the movie, this is what Alex the Lion is always eating. This is a test cake since it's my first time working with fondant. I wasn't coordinated enough to do the "fat" in one long strip, so it's lumpy where it connects. Any tips on that would be appreciated. I'll be piping a bed of leaves around it when I do the real thing. This would be a fun cake for a BBQ, too.

Awesome job! My husband would LOVE it.... Great Idea!!!!!! I would say that maybe instead of "overlaping" the fondant on the sids, try to join it together like a seam...? Might take some pratice, but it's an idea.
