I am requesting some ideas on making a 3d elephant cake. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

Have you used the "search" tab in the gallery? That's where I start. Then if you find some pics, PM the person and they are usually very willing to help with details. Good luck and don't forget to post your pic!

I have an elephant in my photos.

Really easy. Check it out.

I did one several years ago (before digital) I used a 3D bear pan and used marshmallows for the trunk and used cardboard for the ears and covered it in suran wrap and then star tip over that...but now I would do it very differently...now that I know how to use fondant....

So the 3D bear pan and let me see if I can find the picture so you can see it...I will take a picture of my picture...be back....

I did one not too long ago. I don't know if its the type of elephant you are looking for but its an elephant .
If you want the instructions for it just pm me and I will send them too you.

OK...the picture is not good but maybe you will be able to see what I mean at least, but at the time the guy who wanted it for his daughter looked through the Wilton Yearbook...1996...

yourstruly that cake is amazing! I would love to get the instructions just for my list of "future" cakes I want to make!

AI would love to get a copy of the directions for your elephant cake. I have one coming up in a couple of weeks. Thanks in advance. TinabTaylor

That is a beautiful cake...if you wouldn't mind I would love to have the instructions also!
