Wild about Homemade Cakes

Why spend a ton of money on a shower cake when you can make one that's lots of fun for a fraction of the price? My favorite site to visit for cake ideas is Coolest-Birthday-Cakes.com. Most recently, I found a cake on this website to make for my sister's baby shower.

Her nursery is jungle-themed. I made the animals using foam sheets, with the idea that I would add magnets to each animal afterwards so she could hang them on the fridge for Baby Noah to play with when he gets older. Based on the pictures, I think other people who made the cake made the animals out of cookies, which seemed way more time consuming, and I liked the idea of saving the animals. My sister loved the cake. It actually tasted pretty good too, thanks to my mother-in-law who baked while I cut out the animals.
