A little hippo cake

This was one of the smallest and most simple cakes I have ever made.  It was for my little sister, who was turning 7 in case you didn't work that out from the candle ;) She was only have having a small party with 3 friends and her birthday is just after christmas everybody was on a bit of a diet and didn't want to be eating too much cake.  It also explains the destroyed remains of a gingerbread house in the background :)
 
I knew that she would be devestated if she didn't get a cake (the other one had a 3D sitting up dinosaur for her party a couple of weeks before :/ ) but didn't want anything big or too difficult.  She is very girly so pink was a BIG YES! I happened to have some purple fondant left over and had a rough idea of how to shape a hippo which is where the rest of the design came from.  It ended up being a sweet little cake and she was super pleased which is by far the most important thing :D
