Tips
For The Elephun Cake
We are huge fans of Sharon Wee, cake designer extraordinaire. She offers on-line tutorials on figure modeling, including how to make the elephant we used on top of the Elephun Cake. The tutorials are easy to follow with great instruction and pictures
If you're going to create an elephant or other figure out of gumpaste, it's a good idea to make an extra or two just in case the first one breaks
We prefer to frost our cakes in chocolate ganache when we know we are going to cover the cakes in fondant. When chocolate ganache sets, the hard shell is a perfect canvas for placing fondant on
Presentation
Ideas For The Elephun Cake
We used a basic white cakestand for our Elephun Cake. Check out Sur La Table, Pottery Barn, or Sarah's Stands for your stand. All offer an assortment of cake stands for you to choose from
A simple printable dessert label can go a long way to completing the presentation. We offer free printable dessert labels, along with the rest of the Elephun Experience Printables, that you can download here. We recommend using cover weight paper which you can find at Paper-Source. We usually use pure white, but feel free to choose a color that works for you
