It's been the Year of the Lion King at our house, so I made this cake for my daughter's fifth birthday. I used some of her LK figures for decorations. Besides the fact that Pride Rock and its surrounding environs are looking a bit muddy, due to the fact that the heavy figures had to be plunged knee-deep into the cake in order to stand straight, it was a thrill to see my daughter's reaction to this cake. Pride Rock is an 8X8 round chunked, stacked and pinned with drinking straws before frosting.
