Homemade Hippo Birthday Cake

This Hippo Birthday Cake was made for my 3 year old daughters' birthday. Every year I try to make something special for their birthday (I have twins, so I have to find 2 cake ideas every year!!! - go see the polar bear birthday cake ).

I used 2 x 8" round pans to build this cake. I kept one just like that and I cut the other one to build the top head part. I added the rest of the cake that I cut for the head, on top of the whole round one, so the nose would look bigger.

I covered the cake in sugar dough and I used chipits for the eyes. I placed a little pink ribbon around the head.

My daughter sleeps with this pink hippo stuffed animal since she's born. I wanted to make something really special for her this year and I think I did pretty good for somebody who never worked with sugar dough before!

Do you do cakes often? I would never have thought of doing this especially the way you did it. Extremely wonderful.

I have to do birthday cakes once a year. The first year I made 2 sheep, last year was a dragon and a ladybug. And this year was the hippo and the polar bear. First try with sugar dough...
