Homemade Tiger Birthday Cake

This Tiger Birthday Cake was made by me for my son's birthday September 2008. My son Alex wanted a Tiger, soccer ball, and Lizards theme. I thought how was I going to do that, so I came up with a Tiger cartoon type 3d teddy cake using a Teddy bear cake tin, soccer ball candles and toy lizard decorations.

The cake is mud cake and was cooked in a 3D teddy bear cake tin. I used butter cream coloured with food dye and piped the fur on using a grass tip and piping bag. The Tiger's stripes were done using cut up licorice. The cake board was green butter cream. I placed fake leaves on the board with toy lizards as decorations and I used soccer ball candles to finish the theme.

He was very happy with his cake.
