Little Baby G is coming and she needed a welcome party! What does every party need? Well, every party that I’m involved in?
Cake!
Baby G’s mom gave me a picture of her crib set so that I could get some ideas. Isn’t it the cutest? I think she’s really going to like it.
I stared by making the animals. They take a while to dry and need to be made ahead of time. Sometimes they need a little help holding their heads up until they dry.
This little zebra isn’t really hungry for pudding, although I wouldn’t blame him. He needed a little heads up for a while.
See how everyone gets along? The elephant decided to lend a trunk to the project. He didn’t want the zebra hanging his head either.
After they dried they all hung out with the palm fronds. The palm fronds had to dry before they could be made into trees. You can’t tell, but they’re actually blowing on them to help them dry.
The trees are a several stage process. Next they start looking like shrubs.
A lot of monkey business happened with this cake, but we got through it.
I think Baby G will like her cake.
It looked amazing. Only bad thing is the zebra had to go away. I liked that zebra…. LOL

@hamsterman333, I liked the zebra too, but the hippo might be my favorite. It’s hard to choose!

Alright, that cake is fabulous. What did you sculpt the animals out of? Actually, we should email – I’m working hard on really irritating the town here with my next big gingerbread house, but I need help with a couple things, and judging by that cake? Yer Da Woman!

@Kyra, The animals are made out of gumpaste and fondant. We should totally email! I haven’t done a gingerbread house before, but I love the royal icing. It’s the best tasting concrete ever made!

Is it possible for a cake to be beautiful and so stinking cute all at the same time? Because it is!

I pulled up your blog after seeing you mention the Halloween party on Adam’s. I probably would have stayed silent, but after looking through some of your cakes I felt it would be a crime not to mention how great they are. Way cool stuff!
