Homemade Giraffe Birthday Cake

Homemade Giraffe Birthday Cake

This Giraffe Birthday Cake was made for my cousin's daughter Maya for her 3rd birthday. I used a small ball pan for the head and a pampered chef small batter bowl and small round for the body. The legs were made with two small pampered chef prep bowls cut to size. I used skewers to hold the cakes together.

The snout, tummy, and hooves were covered with marshmallow fondant. Button candies for the nostrils and small chocolate covered peanuts for the eyes. The horns, ears, and roses were also made with MMF.

 Maybe some helpful info for others

I love this cake and have done one about a year ago that was very similar. I used about 5-6 8" cakes for the body. The head was made from rice krispy treats (I had to transport this cake a long ways away) so it wouldn't be top heavy. The fur I made with a Wilton tip 233 (grass tip) snout, ears, eyes, bow, and horns were made from fondant! I hope that helps those who needed a little more information on how this could be made!

I love your cake. It is so cute. You said you used MM fondant to cover the snout and things but what did you use to make it look furry?
