Fondant Giraffe animal for jungle birthday cake

[shelby925]

Can u show how u made the animals please!!!

I was going to said that. It is really looks like a horse but it still cute. And kids will be confuse if it is a toy or edible giraffe.

Could you tell me what type of fondant you use for this please as I tried with roll out icing and it's not as good as yours. Too pliable and cracks easily or sticks to my hands/the rolling pin/the table! Also, do you buy pre-coloured fondant or colour yourself and if you colour, what paste do you use? Thanks in advance, I'm just starting out and would love any tips you have.

Hi, i would like to know how to get the brown colour. I tried red, blue and yellow and didn't work. I added green I didn't work either.

Thanks

Cool I'm actually speaking with you. I made a giraffe, a monkey an elephant and a croc. I'll send you some pics when I take them. The birthday is in 2 weeks. Mine are not as neat as yours. Do you make all the parts and then glue them? And what is the glue you used? I just used royal icing for now but it shows. Anyway they are still cute and I can't wait to show off my creation. Thanks :-)

[kimbolabimbo]

Hiya! how did the birthday go?? cant wait to see a pic of the cake :P i dont use any glue as such, when ive made the parts i use water, a dab of water makes the fondant abit sticky... if i need to attach a bigger/heavy part whihc wouldnt hold, i break a cocktail stick in half and use it :) xx
