Jungle Theme
I made this for a little boy's 2nd b-day. It is a yellow cake with b/c frosting and chocolate pudding filling. I made the palm tree out of fondant leaves , put some hand made coconuts on it and made some monkeys out of RI. I bought the wilton animals and the edible ones too.
I love it! Your palm trees are great - and a perfect solution for my procrastination issues with royal icing!
The only problem was the trees are top heavy. I had tp put alot of b/c cream icing to hold the trees up. They were fun to make and make sure you make extras. They break very easy.I got the idea of of the Wilton 2007 year book. But the coconuts were my idea.
Cute idea and you executed it well. I like the trees and your monkeys.
Palm trees are excellent!! Great cake!
So cute! I love the pulled grass as a border too! So much cuter than typical shell border! Well done!
Thanks. The pull out grass is so easy to do and much easier than doing the shell border. I still have to get the writing down. I can not script very well.
I really like your cake! I am trying to make the same palm trees for a beach cake but am having trouble. I have never used royal icing before so do you have any tips? Thanks!!
These trees were to top heavy. I first made the leaves a week in advance so they can dry . Do not put so many leaves on the top.The royal icingis easy , just follow the recipe.
Thanks- I'm going to work on them tonight!
