I received a request to create a birthday cake for a 2 year old boy who LOVES elephants.  He has 12 elephants living in his home already.  I wonder how many more lucky elephants he received for his birthday? :-) The design was to be similar to another cake I had made previously here .  She wanted only the baby elephant on top as the cake topper, wearing a party hat and sitting on top of the brown blanket over many leaves.  The elephant would be blowing out a small cake with 2 candles.  The top tier cake was to have a name banner hanging from a red rope with yellow triangles that read "ENZO."  As this cake was 2 tiers, I also placed many various colored leaves around the lower cake for added decorations. Cake: Vanilla Butter Cake Filling: Oreo Buttercream Icing: Vanilla Buttercream Decorations: Fondant Happy 2nd Birthday, Enzo!
