Dorothy's Latest Cake

Our grand daughter Jenna wanted a giraffe cake for her birthday. That was a pretty tall order (no pun intended).  It took some thinking but this is what we came up with:

I made this "skeleton" out of PVC pipe.

 

 

 

Dorothy placed the two layer chocolate

cake on the skeleton, carved it into shape, and

crumb coated it with icing.

 

 

Then wrapped it in fondant.

 

 

Several layers of fondant were needed to arrived at the correct contours.

 

 

Dorothy had me to paint the markings and sculpt the

head from a wad of fondant.

 

 

Except for the pipe skeleton everything you

see is edible.
