I know, I know... another zebra print cake! But when that's what they ask for, that's what you have to give them. So I wanted to accomplish two things with this cake: 1. Make sure it really looked like zebra stripes and 2. Try to design something a little different than every other "zebra stripes with bright pink bow." I think I was successful. Chocolate fudge cake with chocolate chips and cream cheese filling (my cake version of my childhood favorite black bottom cupcakes) with buttercream icing. Rope and tassels are fondant dusted with silver luster dust. Bow is gumpaste with disco dust.
