1st Birthday Jungle Party Cake (1442)
Continuing this week’s theme of animal cake, this 4 tier cake is decked out for a safari themed 1st birthday party. The top of the cake includes a boy next to a lion in a party hat. Other animals joining the party include a tiger, monkey, giraffe, alligator and elephant.
The cakes flavors included pistachio with chocolate buttercream, chocolate cake with hazelnut buttercream, vanilla cake with coconut buttercream and red velvet with raspbery chambord and lemon cream cheese. We delivered the cake to Apple Seeds in New York City.
Michael loved the cake. Thanks Michael!

1st Birthday Animal Jungle Cake












I love this 1st birthday jungle party cake so much! I’ve been trying to find cutouts like your rounded edge squares here but haven’t had any luck. Where did you find yours?
Hi Marci – we cut those out by hand.
This cake is absolutely adorable!! I wish I had seen this before my niece’s first birthday, since it was zoo animal themed. Are the figurines made out of modeling chocolate?? Absolutely stunning cake. I frequently look at your site and I use some of your cakes on my blog too, with credit of course. This cake is just another shining example of the fabulous work being done!
Thanks Cathy! The figurines are made out of gumpaste. Thanks for stopping by.
I adore those gumpaste animals!! I don’t know whether you intended for the zebra and the giraffe to be playing “monkey in the middle”, but that is what I think of every time I see them. It always makes me laugh. I can’t help but wish I had this as my birthday cake THIS year, even though I’ll be turning seventeen not one. Add a splash of purple and it would be absolutely perfect for me. {lol
} It’s definitely my favorite cake on your site!
