This cake was for a friend's baby shower. She did her nursery in safari animals, so I wanted to match the cake. But I decided to do a different safari cake than the one I did here.
The bottom tier is a buttercream base, with Wilton Sugar Sheets overlaid for the zebra print. In retrospect, I don't like the sugar sheets on the entire layer. It's okay for embellishments, but I had to piece it together too much to cover the entire cake.
The top tier is all buttercream...I just freehanded the giraffe spots.
All of the embellishments are fondant, with a little buttercream "grass" thrown in! My friend was wowed and loved this cake!!

The back of the cake...lots of flowers and butterflies on the back.
