Decorating the Jungle Cake

I made the animals out of fondant.  I cut them out with cookie cutters. 

I used fondant tools to add details.

I painted spots on my giraffe with cocoa powder mixed with alcohol.

This is a clay extruder.  It can be used to make strings of fondant.  Here I am using it to make my lion's mane.

I cut the strings and put them around the face.

Here's my jungle before I added the leaves.

I decided it needed something else, so I asked mom to mix gray fondant.  My helper Sophie and I made rocks.  We put the leaves on too.

Success!!!

Here's my cake when it was finished.

Thanks for looking at how I made my cake!
