Jungle Themed First Birthday

My nephew Colin turned one year old this past week. Everything he has is jungle themed so it was only natural to throw him a jungle party! Here are the invite and the cake I did for him.

The cake was vanilla with layers of Bavarian creme and fresh strawberries on the inside. The entire cake was then given a coating of vanilla buttercream frosting and then covered in homemade vanilla marshmallow fondant. I made the animals in advance out of store bought fondant. Since the fondant cake would not be as much fun to get all into, I made him a separate, individual size cake to go wild with!
