I thought my Jungle Cruise cake deserved a post all it's own. I was so thrilled with how it came out...I just think it's so neat! There were just no hiccups with this cake, everything ran smoothly and it is better than I imagined. I love to create and I was really proud of this one....
The base all prepped and in the refrigerator overnight
I made the waterfall out of melted jolly rancher candies and added some texture to it to make it look like flowing water, and then let it harden while it sat, molded over a bowl.
The elephant pool was also jolly rancher candy. I submerged the elephants in the candy before it was fully hardened
Ta-Da!
Me and Evelyn watched a youtube ride through video of the Jungle Cruise to make sure we got certain elements right. There is a scene with lions in a cave eating a zebra (they joke that the zebra is sleeping) and Evelyn was adamant about including that... of course we had to include the "backside of water" as that's one of more famous jokes of the ride...
Plane crash in the jungle...
I love how the waterfall has that see-through water look to it
For the wooden signs I molded them out of gumpaste, dyed it brown, and used an edible paint to color in the texture of the wood to make it realistic
