The birthday boy's favourite book is Brown Bear, Brown Bear, so this cake features animals from the book cut out of marbled modelling chocolate. The cake is chocolate praline with whipped chocolate praline filling with a chocolate ganache crumb coat, covered in fondant.

On a personal note, this is also my 6-month-old son's favourite book and when I showed him the cake he smiled from ear to ear and tried to grab at it! Since we read this every day can recite it from memory, I made sure to arrange the animals in the same order as the book.
