I've been asked about a sheet cake for someone who went on safari. the animals he hunted are being delivered to him (after being at the taxidermist icon_wink.gif )and they are having a party when they arrive. All the things I see are for kids, but this needs to be adult style. Any ideas?

Great ideas Doug.

I found in the Sugarcraft Book- Course 3 they had a little insert of a Safari/African Ckae. There was a tribal mask.

I would put sculpted elephants, giraffes, monkeys and lions or hippos. If you don't know how to sculpt the animals a Polymer Clay book or Sculpee.com can show you the basic of sculpting.


If you lived around here I would give you a quick lesson in sculpting animals.

Good Luck!
