Jungle Cake and thanksgiving :)

So back in September i made this amazing three tier cake for a little boy that was turning 1 years old. His room theme was a jungle animal theme, so i decided to make him a Jungle cake :)

I was very excited about the outcome :) it was the first time for me to form figures and accents with gum paste. After squeezing a ball of gum paste in my hand i just decided to treat it like play-doh and it turned out so easy and fun to work with.

Here are some close ups of the cake:





and here is the final product:


Two more cakes that i have recently made was for thanksgiving. The first is a deluxe carrot cake with pineapple chunks, walnuts and raisins in it. It was covered and filled with  cream cheese icing and decorated with gum paste leaves.


The second one is my all time new favorite cake. It is a chocolate fudge cake filled with a sweet ricotta frosting and topped with a chocolate glaze and walnuts. YUM!!!!
