Elephant Birthday Cake

This was my gorgeous little one's 3-year-old birthday cake.  

I was going to make a 3D sheep birthday cake for her.  However the only sheep cake tin in the shop wasn't available for hire anymore (as an irresponsible customer didn't return it and the shop owner couldn't contact her anymore...... so it's gone gone gone!).  

While I was going through the cake tin collection book in the shop to decide which one to hire, my little one saw this elephant cake picture and demanded to have it.  She was so happy and excited.  So I ended up hiring the elephant cake tin to make her birthday cake.  Since then, she's not into sheep anymore.... but elephants!  She even got a pink elephant security blanket from her dad as birthday present :-)

I was intended to make it purple, but got the wrong colour.  So I ended up using pink.

Happy Birthday my dear Gabrielle, mommy loves you so much...... ~3~
