A lot of wishes came with this cake. Could I make this cake in earthly tones, make one layer with either zebra stripes of giraffe spots, add animals, three cakes, add a busy layer, a piecefullayer, add candles etcetera. I tried to fulfill as many wishes as I could, but still keep the cake pretty. I chose an earthly yellow colour and combined it with giraffe spots on one layer. The mom of the birthday boy was very specific in not wanting the cake to be 'too much' or 'too decorated' or 'too busy' so I thought this was a nice combination. I would have liked the monkey to have turned out a bit better but I loved the lion. I think the snake is a nice solution to decorate the edge between the tw cakes, I remember seeing it once somewher on the internet. Personally I don't like the three candles on top, they don't do justice to the cake I think, but 'mom' insisted on it. Won't do it again I think. I added the little pond with the funny crocodile head just as a finishing touch because I thought it just needed a little something. The name of the birthday boy is on the cakeboard as wished. All in all I think it turned out OK. All fondant! Thanx for looking!
