What is the best way to make the alligator.Does any one have a detailed video or instruction on how to make it and other safari type animals.

Hi,

Is yr alligator going to be made out of cake? OR will it be a small figure that will be place ontop of a cale?

If cake: I would make the head and tail out of RKTs and the body out of cake. Then cover and decorate.

If small figure: I would make it out of RKTs bc it is easy to mold/shape and stays put as well. You could do the figure in pieces (head, body, feet and tail) and attach with toothpicks and edilble glue or melted chocolate.

Safari Animals: You could also made them out of RKTs or modeling chocolate or a 50/50 mix. Also, search youtube, they have videos on different animals that might help you along.

I am thinking of making the alligator out of fondant It doesn't have to be huge but I can find any step by step instructions on how to do him . I also need to make a monkey,girraffe and elephant I have found some tutorial on those.

Hi Sherry, I have a safari themed baby shower cake in my photos. If you like the animals and need instructions, feel free to PM me

If i am not mistaken, there are tutorials on this site showing how to make a monkey and elephant. I will try to find an alligator. I have a book by Maisie Parrish on that, but don,t know how to send it to you. hth
