One of the cake orders I had over this past weekend included this sweet baby shower cake for a baby boy who will be named Wyatt. They requested that the cake be done in soft blues and yellows and have elephants and giraffes on it.
I think making fondant elephants are one of my favorites to make--they are just too darn cute!
But then I finished the giraffes and decided that they too are very cute. Everything on the cake was edible, even the eyes, which were drawn on with a food marker.
The other details are fondant circles and pale blue and yellow sugar pearls. I also added some ABC blocks that I thought added another special touch to this fun cake. This cake will definitely be added to my portfolio on the Jillicious Desserts website.

The cake sounds yummy delicious too! I always like the sound of caramel buttercream and dark chocolate cake. Did you use RLB recipe for the caramel buttercream?
