About Wild & Wonderful: Animal Themes

The trick to these animal-themed cakes is the balance between structure and moisture. While the fondant figures like monkeys, giraffes, or lions are sculpted to look perfect, the cake base underneath is a sturdy, moist sponge designed to hold its shape. I avoid using dense, dry recipes often found in elaborate cakes, so you get a beautiful display piece that actually tastes like a high-quality dessert your guests will want to finish.
