This cake was made for the 2nd birthday of a little boy. The theme is basically Diego exploring the jungle. Unlike all the other jungle themes with scenic landscapes, I decided to go with a contrast base tier design.
My idea was to keep the contrast on the base tier, at the same time it should blend with the top tier. I included some monkeys & jaguar to go with the theme. All the decorations on this cake are edible made out of fondant. The Diego is a candle. Designs on the base tier are hand-piped with buttercream.
Here is how the whole design theme came out....
