Depends on how comfortable you feel about cutting the cake into the shape you want. Measure first and make sure you can get all the pieces you need before you cut! Good luck and I would love to see your cake when you are finished! <br />Thanks for looking!Cake Believehttp://www.cakebelieve.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220676515504472926.post-38916472628515564142011-09-02T16:08:42.862-07:002011-09-02T16:08:42.862-07:00this is a great cake and it looks fairly easy for ...this is a great cake and it looks fairly easy for a novice cake decorator to replicate to some degree,how much time would you suggest dedicating to the whole process? my child's birthday is in a week and a half...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220676515504472926.post-80441014546968133512011-08-17T08:15:09.843-07:002011-08-17T08:15:09.843-07:00These spots are chocolate buttercream, but you cou...These spots are chocolate buttercream, but you could certainly use chocolate fondant!Cake Believehttp://www.cakebelieve.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220676515504472926.post-92190099104725559412011-08-17T07:44:17.573-07:002011-08-17T07:44:17.573-07:00I am thinking of trying something like this for my...I am thinking of trying something like this for my 1 year old this weekend :) I was obsessed with giraffes before he was born...he has so many giraffe toys/ decorations in his room...I love this!
