Zoo Birthday Cake

Made this zoo cake after having the theme changed on me overnight! Was originally going to be a lacrosse cake, but the birthday girls parents changed their minds. : ) I would have liked to spend more time on the fondant animals, but I think it still turned out okay. It's vanilla cake, raspberry filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant decorations.

Jungle Birthday Cake featuring the Tiger

Jesse's birthday cake this year. :o) Can't believe he is 11! I really wanted to cheat (to save time) and use fake animals but he was disappointed by that idea (guilt card) so I made them from marshmallow fondant. The cake is two tiered, triple chocolate with chocolate mousse filling and buttercream frosting. The 11 party boys seemed to really enjoy it!
