Leopard Cheerleader 50th Class Reunion Cake

I made this cake for my mom, and her high school reunion, which she was brave enough to host at her own house. The cake is yellow, with vanilla cream filling and buttercream icing. I hand formed the leopard from marshmallow fondant. I thought it turned out really cute and fun and hopefully everyone liked it. 

Leopard and Hot Pink Birthday Cake w/ Guitar

A better title might be "Take a Rock on the Wild Side." No? Too corny? Whatever. 

I tried something new with this cake and will have to wait until they cut into it before I know if it worked. Supposedly, you can put leopard spots INSIDE a cake! I've done zebra stripes before, but this was the first time for leopard print. I followed the instructions and recipe found here: http://www.sweetdreamscakeapp.com/2013/09/26/animal-print-inside-the-cake/

Hopefully it doesn't look like you-know-what inside. ;-) (Update below-it worked!)

I used yellow cake, and only food coloring for the spots (inside and out) because the birthday girl does not like chocolate. (I know, right?!!) Buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. The guitar is rice krispy treat covered with buttercream and mmf. Loved how this one turned out! I don't think the photos do it justice, is really a cute cake!

The birthday girls mom was kind enough to send this photo after they cut the cake. Not too bad for my 1st try with the leopard spots technique!
