This cake was made for a family friend. Her favorite stuffed animal was a blue-green hippo named Baba, so I was asked to replicate it as the cake topper. I’m a perfectionist at heart so I had actually scrapped my first attempt at the hippo. I couldn’t help my eyes kept drawing themselves back to the figurine and wouldn’t let me move on! So I ended re-doing it but I’m glad I did because I was so proud of the way the second take turned out. I can’t believe how perfectly I got the fondant to match the real thing. This was a\u00a0vanilla cake filled with a delicious cream-cheese vanilla pudding. Tastes a lot better than it sounds –\u00a0Gotta say, it’s one of my favorite flavors!<\/p>\n
