Jungle Adventure

A lovely cake order this weekend for little baby Luke's 1st Month celebration! I've noticed there seems to be a trend of mummies of little boys requesting for animal theme cakes. But I'm not complaining at all, cos I love to make little animals. :)

Jungle Adventure was the theme of the cake! I made a doe-eyed lion, a happy monkey, jumbo elephant and a curious little giraffe for the animals. Decorated the cake with lush greenery, mini flowers, mario-mushrooms, ladybugs and even a trail sign that points to the curious giraffe and doe-eyed lion!

The challenge in this cake was surprisingly not the animals, but in fact the trees! It took a while to figure out how to create the "fibre" like trunk and canopy like leaves. Also, I recently started experimenting with decoration of the cake board. Bought a couple of print mats and the effect is simply lovely! Definitely brings out a lot more texture in the overall design. Time to buy more new cake decoration toys!

 Happy 1st Month little Luke!
