I'm just about to attempt to make this cake for my son - he has a giraffe themed life thus far (it's his first birthday this week) and have been searching high & low to find someone that has made the AWW Giraffe cake - and then I found your blog!! You make it look so easy - thank you for your detailed instructions with pictures. Hopefully mine will work out just as good as yours (I am doing trad colours tho).

A jube is a sweetie that is soft like a jelly (usually full of gelatine so not very friendly to strict vegetarians but other sweeties can be used instead)<BR/><BR/>thanks Mansi<BR/><BR/>thanks Yarrow - I think it is one of my best too. I confess it probably looked better than it tasted - I love the look of all the icing but don't really like the taste! Nice thought for my semi-retirement!

If it tasted as good as it photographed, then it would be amazing.<BR/>You know I have seen many of your cakes over the years, but still this stands out.<BR/>Stunning.<BR/><BR/>When you get tired of the rat-race you should definitely take semi-retirement and make specialty cakes like this. It could be like counselling meets cake - chatting to someone about what they love, and then coming up with a cake that sums all of that up for them...<BR/><BR/>YarrowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-62614053073238587772008-05-02T11:11:00.000+10:002008-05-02T11:11:00.000+10:00wow, that is so cute Johanna!!
