Does anyone have any ideas for a birthday cake with this theme? I admit I rented this on PPV at a hotel one night but fell asleep before it hardly got going... seemed to be a bit like Madagascar!

Not sure what I should try to come up with - I have done FBCT before, but never the chocoloate transfers.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Ibelieve it's the same basic idea only the chocolate transfer doesn't take as long to set up and you can just pop it in the fridge to speed it along.........however u have to be careful if you plan to have the cake anywhere warm because they do melt!!!


Judging by this photo http://www.numberonestars.com/movies/images2/wild.jpg

I think it might be cute to do a two tiered cake and make sugar cookies decorated like skyscrapers to put on the top for a topper kinda like this

and then put the animal chocolate transfers or even a royal icing transfer of the animals all around the sides of the cakes!! Could be just adorable!!

Thanks for all those suggestions. They are adorable. I'm just not sure this mom is willing to pay what I am wanting to charge. All those fondant characters look time consuming, to say the least. Did I mention the talent, too?

I need to try and find some clean images of the characters so I can practice the chocolate transfers.

Thanks for the ideas. keep 'em coming... I've got till September on this one!
