Just perfect! My youngest daughter, who is 16, has been obsessed with the hippo for as long as I can remember! This is going straight to my favorites.

Well, lemme see...The body was 2 8" rounds, and the legs and head were sort of just carved and shaped from a few other cakes! It was then iced & covered in fondant, and the ears were pieces of fondant too. I indented the nostrils and toenails, and used a Wilton FoodWriter to make the eyes. The bottom was a bit sloppy so I used fondant flowers & hearts to make a border :)
