Jungle Cruise, Anyone?

Jungle Cruise, Anyone? on Cake Central

This cake is covered in fondx. The body is 2, 6x3 round pans, filled and stacked. The head is a 5x2 round pan filled. I covered the 6" and the 5" seperately and then placed dowel support through the body then put the head on. The arms, legs, ears, trunk and tail are fondx. Since this guy is bathing, I put blue tinted piping gel on flower wire( cloth covered wire) and stuck them in the trunk to make a shower effect and poured a little of the piping gel around the cake.

WOW! such a great response. Thank you guys! I really appreciate it. for those who asked questions - I used two 6"x3" round pans for the body and a 5"x2" round for the head, The eyes I just rolled a bit of fondant and pressed it between my fingers to flatten and pinched the ends to make them more oval.. Again I got goose bumps when I saw all the comments, Thank you. :D
