Baby Shower Colors Cake

Its A Jungle Out There!

Like I said in my previous post, it seems that everyone I know is having babies!  A friend of mine found this absolutely adorable jungle theme for baby showers and we fell in love with it!  It can be used for a baby boy or a baby girl.  We actually used it for two different showers, but I made two very different cakes for them.  We also used different color schemes, so the look of the showers was quite different.  Anyway, we loved both the cakes, so here they are!

Pink Zebra Stripes Birthday Cake

This cake was made for a 5 year old girl's birthday party.  She loves zebra stripes and was determined to have them on her birthday cake!  She also wanted something "fluffy" on it, so I gave it a fluffy-looking border around the bottom.  Her mom wanted a Classic White Cake, so I decided to put a little food coloring in some of the layers, so they alternated white and pink--like the outside of the cake!  She wanted a Chocolate Creme Filling.  The little girl was very excited when she saw her cake and her father told me that the cake was a huge hit.  They took it to her school to celebrate her birthday.  He said there wasn't any left! 

Jungle Birthday Cake

This cake was created for a 4-year-old boy's birthday party.  The party was a jungle theme party, so they wanted a cake to match.  The bottom tier was our Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake with our Chocolate Ganache Filling.  The top tier was our Butter Pecan Cake with a Cream Cheese Frosting Filling.  The cakes were covered in fondant with fondant details.  The little animals were lots of fun to make.  I made a monkey for the top because the birthday boy is a big fan of Curious George.  They also requested snakes for the cake.  I also made an alligator and a lion.  They turned out really cute.  There were made out of all edible fondant/gum paste.  The grass is buttercream frosting.  The cakes were a big hit.  People were surprised that the cakes not only looked great, but tasted great, too!
