My friend wants to do the cake for her son's first bday. He has this stuffed elephant that he loves and I suggested doing an elephant cake. She doesn't think she can do it, though. I told her I'd come here and find some pictures for her. I looked through the gallery and didn't find anything I loved. Any ideas on how to make a cute elephant cake for a 1 year old boy?

there is one in the wilton yearbook 2007 page 12, or use the pin prick method and a color book pic and place on top of a sheet cake.

You can make an elephant from the Friendly Lion pan (in the 2007 Wilton yearbook), and I'm pretty sure I've seen an elephant made from the 3D teddy pan as well (but don't ask me where!).

Edited to say:

Found it!:

Here's a shortcut to a gallery photo here. I thought it was cute even though it's a "heffalump". Good luck!
