Playful Animals and Seal Baby Shower Cake

A vanilla cake with dulce de leche buttercream in the top tier and a red velvet cake with cream cheese filling on the bottom. White fondant is covered in multicolored stripes and decorated with jungle animals (my perennial favorites: the lion, elephant and giraffe) modeled out of gumpaste. A seal is demonstrating its juggling skills with a red fondant ball covered in white polka dots. We delivered the cake to a Baby Shower in Jersey City near the waterfront.

This seems to be an animal month! We made this two-tier jungle animal theme cake for a first birthday party in Lodi NJ.

Jungle Animals and Waterfall Birthday Cake

A jungle theme first birthday cake for a really cute kid at his party in Milltown NJ.

The two tiers of red velvet cake and layers of cream cheese filling are covered in a light green fondant. A frothing waterfall flows down the cake, which is decorated with bushes, a palm tree and jungle animals (lion, elephant, monkey, giraffe and a snake) all scuplted from fondant.

We also made matching chocolate fudge cupcakes with French Vanilla frosting and little animal faces.
