This was the cake I made for my little sister for her birthday. As usual I asked what she wanted and her answer was, 'the same as my jungle cake, but wood'. An interesting request but I hope I did ok :/ The cake itself was vanilla sponge but I did give in and make chocolate buttercream (I don't like to eat chocolate cake so won't make it). The animals were each handmade out of fondant in the week before and the grass is just piped buttercream.
There were only a small handfull of children coming to the party so the cake was small but the only cake board I had was massive :( Hence all the grass. I was rushing off to get to work when I finished the cake on the morning of the party. I am one of those last minute types ;)
My sister loved it and the animals have been not particularly safely stored in a drawer somewhere. They may make a guest appearance at some point, otherwise they will stay in said drawer until my mother's next mad clearout :/ It's a hard life if you are a bow tie wearing mole.
