Decorating tips:
This 3-D Noah's Ark was done for a baby shower. I used my small oval pans and small loaf pan for the basic ark shape and iced it in fudge buttercream. The roof is made out of chocolate buttercream covered graham crackers. The Noah's Ark is stacked on top of a single layer round which is iced in blue buttercream to look like water, and has blue and white marbled "waves" border at the bottom. The animals, though, are the fun part of this cake! All different kinds, hippos, elephants, snakes, birds, etc. are aboard this edible ship.
We needed extra servings for the baby shower, to supplement the cake, so I did carrot cake cupcakes iced in cream cheese icing. Then I piped a little matching animal head on top, to go with the Noah's Ark animals!
