I am making a two tier cake for my sister's baby shower. She wants to do it in the Cocalo Jacana theme. I am only planning on doing the elephant, giraffe, and monkey. I am stressing on how to do the monkey and the giraffe. Does anyone have any tips on how I should go about it?
Thanks.

there are many wonderful tutorials on Youtube

Here is a photo tutorial on a Giraffe. There are other animals in the Sketches and Template Gallery.
Also a sticky on tutorials in the forums.
