Hi Bess, The giraffe body4 (6" rounds)made into 2 layers divided with cake circles and stacked and the bottom was a 10" cake,  the legs and head if I remember, were rice crispy treats covered with buttercream and fondant... I use a long wooden skewer through the cake to hold the head on.. the elephant and monkey are fondant/gum paste mixed.. If there is alot of humidity I would cover the rice crispy with modeling chocolate and freeze, then cover with fondant... I just go for it!!!

I love this.  What do you use to shape into animals?  Do you use cake?  I have been wanting to try and make a large animal like this but simply don't know where to start.  Great job!
