1/2 sheet cake for a boy’s baby shower cake in blue, navy, white. I frosted cake in light blue, I then outline cute baby elephant with a toothpick freehand. I outline elephant in black #4, fill in in gray #4 & 5 tip. Lavender feet and ears in #4. then I outline again all details, so they will stand out.
*I used to use a start tip to fill in areas, but now in smaller figures in particular, I started using a straight tip in any size that would work.
I used #8 tip for dot boarders, and #4 navy tip for dots around boarders, and scroll circles around elephant on top. Also #6 white icing for dots on top of cake.

1. tip for message, and I did a dot pattern on top of letters…
   *I do a lot of simple cakes like this to serve more for the budget per person…. I always try to add a little extra detail though~ :)
