pink elephant

This was for a little girls first birthday. The elephant is covered in satin ice fondant with a green polka dot fondant bow. The "grass" is a 10 in square that I carved to make the edges more gradual, like a hill. Then I added BC grass and some fondant flowers. My cake kept cracking with the stand up bear pan b/c of my recipe. So, I ended up be-heading my stand up bear cake and using just its head. Then I stacked up round cakes for the body and a strong central dowel for support.
