Animal Zoo Cake (Animal Cake Contest) - 1130F

Choc Mud cakes covered with fondant, Animals and other decorations made from Flower Gum paste, Was my first time to make the Giraffe and Zebra and second time for the Elephant. Animals contain skewers to make legs more rigid and then I formed the body and head, to make the manes for Giraffe and Zebra I cut a long pieces of icing and cut most of the way through aprox 1ml apart and stuck 3 or 4 layers together to make it look like hair. I painted on the stripes for the Zebra and stuck on the spots made out of gum paste for the Giraffe.
