Toy Giraffe cake
I actually used a ceramic mixing bowl which is shaped very much like the Wilton wonder mold pan for the body. I also made a 6in round cake and a bar cake. I cut the round in half and placed the flat edges together keeping the rounded top edges facing out to form the head. I stuck them together with buttercream and shaped the front to make the nose. I did have to bulk out the cheeks with some fondant to get just the right shape - I used chocolate fondant and I suppose you could use modeling chocolate too. I used the bar cake to make the feet and to add an extra bit of height to the body. I was left with about 1/4 of that cake. I placed 2 dowels into the body one at the front and one at the back to hold the head on. I also put the fondant on the head before I attached it to the body hiding all the creases underneath in the join. I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

Yes Amanda - just as I say above but if you want to make the body taller you could use another one with the bowl cake to add height.

Thanks so much for taking the time to type this out for me. I'm going to play around with it and see if I can come up with anything that slightly resembles a giraffe. Once again, you did a wonderful job with it.
