Topsy Turvy Animal Kingdom Cake (2019)

1st Birthday Animal Cake

Last year right around this time we created this mommy-to-be baby shower cake for an expectant couple One year later they reached out to us to celebrate their son Deven’s first birthday.

For the party they asked us to coordinate the colors and animals for the cake to match the decor of the party. The 2 tier topsy turvy cake is decorated with several animals including a monkey, lion, giraffe and elephant all wearing their party hats. The lion at the top has the most important job which is ensuring that the green gumpaste number “1″ doesn’t topple over.

The front of the bottom tier includes a rectangular plaque with Deven’s name in alternating yellow and lighter blues matching the party’s invite.
The entire cake was coconut with pineapple buttercream.

Happy 1st Birthday Deven!
