Out of Africa cake

Out of Africa cake

This was a cake for a birthday surprise. The brief I was given was a map of Africa, a rhino, a lion an elephant and the flag of South Africa!! There are many beautiful sunset themed cakes so I decided to go along that theme with an outline of Africa on top of the cake. The models couldn’t be too big or hide the map of Africa so decided to have the rhino snoozing over the top, and the lion and elephant lounging on the drum. I then couldn’t decide where the flag would go so thought the elephant could hold it!! I didn’t want the drum to be too plain so decided to paint it in leopard print just to finish it off. The cake flavour was amaretto flavoured with amaretto buttercream and raspberry conserve.
