So nice!!! It is such a coincidence..a customer brought me some invitations with exactly the same theme and asked me to make a cake for this weekend!!! I just posted on cupcake talk asking for a tutorial for a 3D palm tree!!!!! Great minds think alike! I love your middle tier.
If I may ask you a question? did you make your animal ahead of time? I am not sure if I’m going to make them ahead of time as I want them to “wrap” the cake and not just be hard and straight.

Hey, thanks so much! I did not make them ahead of time for the same reason, I let them sit for about 20 min after cutting the shape and then placed them on the cake. Hope that helps! Have fun. It’s a really cute theme!
