How To Turn Your Cake Into An Edible Safari

Several years ago I took a cake decorating class.  It was a wonderful experience where I learned many tricks---tips that I now use on creating your toppers!---but one of the most important things I was taught was how to frost a cake...

My instructor placed the cake on a turntable and showed us two methods for frosting a cake: 1 using a bent spatula, and the other using a special cake icing tip...

I have to confess, I like to take the easy route and when I saw that you could fill a bag with frosting and essentially squeeze out the frosting in three easy steps

 I knew this was the method for me!  I had watched my instructor get her cakes beautifully frosted in a matter of minutes and it looked easy enough.  I was confident I could do the same.  So I went out and bought tip #789, baked my cake, let it cool, leveled it, placed it on a cake board, and put it on my turntable for a "quick" frosting -- HA!  Instead of smooth, straight lines of frosting that covered the sides of the cake evenly, my lines spiked and dipped like a electrocardiograph monitor in an emergency room. 

What I forgot is that the instructor has YEARS of experience and what took her just a couple of minutes to do BEAUTIFULLY, took me too many minutes to confess here. 

A similar experience has happened to many of you, as well---you have a beautiful idea in mind, you assemble the right tools, but before you know it you have a full-scale disaster on your hands! 

Here is a quick and easy guide to turn your humdrum cake into a spectacular safari---no disaster necessary!

To create the cake (as pictured at the top of the post), you will need several items:

A delicious cake

The Classic Safari set*

A palm tree (or two, depending on the size of your cake)*







A set of rocks*

Some leaves*

Once you have frosted your cake (usually with green or brown frosting), place the animals and accessories on top of the cake (as pictured below).

When complete, you will have a safari cake that nobody can resist!

Happy styling!

Fondant Cake and Cupcake Toppers for All Occasions

I feel somewhat like a party planner voyer at times, because so many party and celebration details are shared with me, so that the toppers I make are exactly what you want/need to make your own cakes and cupcakes fabulous.

I truly hope your family and friends appreciate the work you have done -- I know I do = )

And so, let me share some of the recent toppers ordered, to decorate your cakes and cupcakes...

The following is for a grooms cake for an Omega Psi Phi Fraternity brother...

And an alligator ready to party, for a little one's birthday celebration...

Monkey's continue to be a favorite.  This little monkey is for a baby shower cake...

And for that circus themed party, here is a circus elephant...

and for smash cakes for twins, a lion...(for the little boy)...

and an elephant (for his twin sister)...

There are plenty more in the works, but I thought I would take a little break and show you what was possible.

Thank you for giving me the privilege of participating in your special celebrations!

Cupcake Stylist Fondant topper of the day: Day 17 - Sweet Safari Pink

The Sweet Safari Pink and Sweet at One 1st Birthday decorations are a favorite for celebrating those precious first birthdays!

I have "revamped" the Sweet Safari Pink fondant toppers on my site, to complement the decorations even more.  Now, instead of a lion with a mane, I am offering a sweet tiger with a tiara...

 

and instead of the zebra with brown accents, I now offer a zebra with gray accents...

the remaining animals have no changes = )

So here they are...the decorations

and the Sweet Safari Pink fondant toppers by Cupcake Stylist!
