This week I am going to show you how I made a Farm Animal Cake. I had an order for this cake and was quite excited to try and broaden my experience.
The first step was making the animals. I had a bit of help with the pig because I found an awesome tutorial on YouTube. The other three animals I just used my cousin's toy animals as models. She was very interested in what I was doing but refused to taste the fondant. I think she thought I was making toys out of it. I am not going to go into detail with how I made the animals because it was a whole lot of experimenting but I did learn a lot by making these farm animals.
The next step was the actual cake. I made a nice flat cake. Used chocolate icing for the ground and for the grass in their pens I just used a simple star tip. then for the fences I used wafers. Unfortunately I had to cut the wafers in half and it looked very cute. Just like a real fence. Then I placed my farm animals in their pens and I must say they liked their new home. Of course you can't forget the Happy Birthday on the cake.
The boy loved his cake and his mom was very happy with the cake. I enjoyed making this and can't wait for a new challenge
