Coolest Jungle Cake 32

Homemade Jungle Cake
My son wanted a jungle cake for his 3rd birthday. The bottom tier is a 12x12 square, the second is a 8 inch round and the top is a 6 inch round. I crumb coated and then iced the cakes with green icing, and then stacked them (make sure you use straws or dowels for support).
I used a grass tip with a darker green to hide the cake board on each tier. For the waterfall I just used a large round tip to outline and fill in, and then the grass tip around the edges.
The animals were all made in advance out of Marshmallow fondant and left in a cool dark place to dry. The palm trees and monkeys were made from chocolate candy melts and stuck on the sides with a dab of buttercream.
It took quite awhile to make the animals, but was well worth it.
