Gorgeous Safari Cakes For A Special Occasion

Hi friends! Safari cakes are among the most popular trends for birthday parties, baby showers, and special occasions! Many beautiful elements go into a safari cake, such as gold animal cake toppers, edible gold splatter, fondant animals, fondant leaves, and many more. The theme is also interchangeable with jungle-themed cake. How can you not like it? I rounded up a group of gorgeous safari cake ideas for your pleasure of viewing!

A Jungle Safari Cake With A Surprise Inside

Copyright 2013 – Sweet Dreams Cake App/Michelle Davis – All Rights Reserved

“In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight ….. “

You have that song stuck in your head now, don’t you? Now you know how I felt the whole time I was working on my niece’s birthday cake. Every time I opened the door to my cake room it was like lifting the lid to a music box; the song would immediately fill my head. It was the perfect song for the cake though. My niece recently turned six and had a jungle themed birthday party at a local campground. She requested I make her a jungle cake with animal prints and jungle animals all over the cake. I took out my sketch pad and drew up my ideas.

I got her approval and went to work. After many hours of sculpting, baking and decorating (I’m not sure exactly how many since I don’t ever keep track) I finished and ended up with a cake that was almost exactly like my sketch. Most of the time it seems I end up having to change a lot of things in the process of going from sketch to finished product so it was kind of excited to keep so close to the plan.

Here is the final creation.

I loved this cake and had so much fun with it. Everything on the cake is edible. The animals are all sculpted from modeling chocolate and the tree is made from chocolate and rice krispy treats.

Here are some close up pictures of all the details.

My niece’s favorite jungle animal is the tiger so I made sure he sat on the top of the cake along with a tree and a bamboo number 6.

A cute little elephant seated on a leopard print tier.

The giraffe was my favorite. Notice how I made him eating some of the leaves from the upper tier.

The monkey was just hanging out, chillin on top of the zebra print.

A chocolate sign wishes my niece a “Happy Birthday.”

The king of the jungle sits in the very front of the cake behind the bamboo border of the cake base.

Some jungle foliage.

Lucky for you, I took pictures while I made everything so I have several tutorials to come on creating these jungle creatures.

Plus, there was a secret inside the cake. Take a look.

That’s right! Animal prints !

The top tier was tiger print, the middle leopard print and the bottom zebra print. This was my first attempt at getting creative with cake batter. It was so fun to hear the kids squeal in excitement once they saw the animal prints in the cake slices. I photographed how I made all these, as well, so you will also be getting tutorials on how to create your own animal print cakes .

It was such a special day. But as adorable as the cake turned out, it wasn’t anywhere near as adorable as my darling niece.

I hope it will be a day, and a cake, that she will never forget.

Check back soon because my next blog entry will start the series of jungle themed tutorials with instructions on how to bake animal print cakes.

Until next time, God Bless and Sweet Dreams.

BEAUTIFUL! You do great work! I bet she loved it!

Thank you Debbie!

Oh my gosh Michelle it’s one of the best kids cakes I’ve ever seen! You are so creative and talented 🙂

Thank you so much Tricia! You are so kind.

Your niece is one lucky girl to have an aunt like you! Beautiful job on the cake – the textures, colors and sculpting! Flawless! Would love a tutorial on this.

Thank you Beth. I will start with a post on how to bake the animal print interiors next week then I’ll post tutorials for making all the animals and the animal prints exteriors. Be on the lookout for them. 🙂

What do you line your cake pans with before putting your battery in them?

Hi Tamra, I usually spray them with a product like Baker’s Joy and then also line the bottom with some parchment paper. You can see pictures of how they are prepared in this link: http://www.sweetdreamscakeapp.com/2013/09/26/animal-print-inside-the-cake/ I hope that helps.

Are you able to freeze this cake? I’m thinking of doing this for my daughter’s bday but want to do it in advance and should I frost it first? Not sure I’m doing fondant.

I want to make an Africa theme cake for my Ethiopian daughter and love what you have done with this cake. What I don’t know how to do is to frost it with the zebra/cheetah/tiger/giraffe types of patterns. Yours look so perfect and I know you have great advice to give me. Will you reveal your secrets for the frosting-job you did?

Hi Margie, I have a tutorial on making the zebra and leopard prints that I made on the outside of my cakes. If you go to this link and scroll down about the middle of the page to the heading “Animal Prints” you will see explanation of the zebra stripes and pictures of the leopard spots. Hope this helps. Good luck! http://www.sweetdreamscakeapp.com/2013/10/03/how-to-create-a-safari-cake/

Thanks, Michelle, for your hasty response. I love your explanations about using a pasta roller for the black fondant for the zebra stripes and all the clear instructions about painting on the cheetah/leopard spots. What I am struggling with now is that nice, smooth base coat of frosting you have on all layers. Is that rolled fondant? Or do you have a recipe for a very smooth and shiny frosting? I am vegan which makes things a tad more challenging, although I do have a recipe for a decent vegan fondant. (I made all the tiles for a swimming pool cake with vegan fondant one year for my daughter’s birthday. Over 1000 tiles I cut out and dried!) So, I can go with fondant if I must. I just have never coated a cake with it.

Yes, Margie, all the cakes are covered in rolled fondant. Sorry, I didn’t explain that before. I bet your fondant will work great. There always has to be a first time for everything! If you want some video instruction of how to cover a cake in fondant, I have an app available for both iPhones/Ipads and Androids, called Sweet Dreams Cake App, that has video tutorials on it and I have one on how to cover a cake in fondant. Good luck to you!

Hi there Michelle!

Wow, what an awesome tutorial this is! So inspirational! You’ve sure got my creative inner-self longing to emerge in a flurry of fondant and butter cream! Haha! THANK YOU!!

My daughter is having a Jungle themed baby shower so this is awesome! I’m going to *attempt* to make this cake so wish me luck!

But before I do, I have some questions if you don’t mind. I realize you made this some time ago, but in general, (1) Do you ever provide a list of ALL the required items/ingredients for each of your cakes (everything from the coloring gel to the size of the pans)? I’d like to make a list but I have to go through every step of the tutorial to see what all is needed and it’s still a bit vague. For example, (2) how much fondant would one need to cover a 3-tier (Jungle) cake (with room for error)? (3) Do you recommend a specific pre-made brand or do you make it yourself? Also, (4) how much modeling chocolate (or gum paste) is needed to make each figure (animal) and (5) what kind do you use (home made, store bought)? Sorry for the inquisition but I’m a newbie and want to take on this challenge well prepared! 😉

Thank you again and I’ve definitely bookmarked your page!

Hi Yvette, Thank you for your kind words. I wish you lots of luck on making your daughter’s baby shower cake. I know it will be so special for her just knowing you made it.

To answer your questions, I don’t usually make an entire supply list. Since my tutorials are free I don’t spend the amount of time on them to figure out all supplies and amounts and all that. Cakes are a hobby for me and I only get to do them once in a while so I try to take pictures while I am doing them and then, after they are done, share my pictures and give explanations for what I did. The tutorials are more of explanations of cakes I made than actually me designing a cake just to make a tutorial for it. I’m not sure if that makes sense or not. 🙂 Usually, when I am making a cake, I sort of figure things out as I go so I don’t really know exactly how much fondant or modeling chocolate or things like that that I am going to use. I have large containers of them and pull out more as I need it. The best way to figure out how much fondant you need is to look up a fondant calculator online or use the calculator on Sweet Dreams Cake app if you have it for your phone/tablet. Use the amounts recommended for the cake sizes you are planning to use. For this cake I used 6″, 8″ and 10″ cakes and then the base board was 12″. As for fondant, I like to use Renshaw or Satin Ice. Both are available on Amazon if you can’t find them at a local cake decorating store. I used modeling chocolate for the animals but you could also use gum paste. The brand of gum paste that I always use is Satin Ice. For modeling chocolate, sometimes I make my own and sometimes I buy it. If I buy it, I get Fondarific Sculpting Chocolate. Otherwise I make it with candy melts and corn syrup. You can find Youtube videos on how to make it. I hope that helps you somewhat. I’m sorry I don’t have a detailed list for you. I use so many different things as I go and so many different tools that it is really hard for me to try to remember all of it after I am done and I am usually on a time crunch when I am working on the cakes. A lot of the time I even forget to keep up with my photographs. 🙂 Hope you enjoy making your cake and congrats on your daughter’s upcoming baby. God bless.

Thank you for the information and the quick response, Michelle! I totally understand about not providing lists of ingredients, that would really be way too time consuming for sure! But boy, you have no idea how much I appreciate the fact that you’re posting as much as you do! And your answer was great and very helpful because it gives me an idea of what to use and what to expect. Thank you for taking the time to respond and for such great inspiration! If I can pull this off, I’ll post pics, but it’s not until August, so bear with me! Have a wonderful week and keep up the beautiful work! 🙂

do you take the animals toppers for sale?

No, I’m sorry, I don’t. I’m just a hobby baker with limited time for doing my hobby. 🙂

This is awesome!

I really love the idea of these cake. My son’s has his 1st birthday coming up.can l order from you? I am in London

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I had a client who wanted this cake minus the top tier and tiger and your tutorial helped A LOT. The cake was a hit, wish I could show you pictures

Hi Sandelle, I am so happy to hear that your cake turned out so great! I’m sure your client was thrilled. Thanks for sharing and happy baking!

Amazing cake. Can I ask how you created The bamboo base.

Hi Natasha. Thank you so much! You can go to this blog post and get instructions on how I made the bamboo base. http://sweetdreamsandsugarhighs.com/2013/10/03/how-to-create-a-safari-cake/

Safari / Jungle Themed First Birthday Party Part I – Dessert Ideas

August 6, 2014 by Roxy

Last week was a memorable one as we celebrated Daniel’s first birthday party. I can’t believe he’s one year old already! My baby boy is seriously growing up too fast so someone, please stop the time! Choosing a theme for his birthday party was super easy as his favorite toys (apart from empty water bottles, TV remote control & cellphones) are all the plush animals around the house from monkeys to teddy bears to elephants.

This Safari / Jungle Themed First Birthday Party was completely styled by me – from choosing the decorations, designing my own banners to baking a cute jungle cake & his smash cake, cupcakes & cupcake toppers , jungle cookies and making all the finger foods (sushi included!). It’s a great party theme that I’m sure any kid would love regardless of the age and it’s a cute idea for a baby shower as well.

I wanted to make something special for Daniel’s 1 st birthday but at the same time we didn’t want to go overboard and spend a fortune. In this post I’ll show you how to throw a fabulous jungle birthday party on a budget for your little ones. Plus you can print all the labels, pennant banners, jungle animals stickers/toppers for FREE!

I wanted to share all food ideas and party decorations in a single post but it got ridiculously long so I split it into four parts:

• Part I – Dessert Ideas + Jungle Safari Cake
• Part II – Appetizers, Finger Foods & Snack Ideas
• Part III – DIY Decoration Ideas + FREE Printables
• Part IV – Cheap Party Supplies & Decorations

In the following weeks I’ll also post full tutorials with step by step photos for the two cakes I made, fondant cupcake toppers and fondant teddy bear cake topper . For the other food ideas, you can find some of the recipes on my blog and others on some of my favorite blogs/websites…I’ll explain everything in detail in these four posts. So sit back, relax and get ready to enjoy all the photos from our jungle party that will hopefully inspire you!

The cake topper is a fondant replica of our son’s favorite teddy bear.

I made two of these, one for the big cake and the other for his smash cake. Check out the tutorial on how to make this cute little teddy bear .

Talking about this, here’s Daniel’s JUNGLE FIRST BIRTHDAY SMASH CAKE. It’s a five-layer walnut cake (6 inches) filled with the same delicious chocolate walnut cream (full tutorial with step by step photos coming soon!).

And here’s my sweet little Daniel after he smashed his cake, we cleaned him and then he came back to play with his teddy bear , the fondant one that is :)!

Have some bananas around? Then place them in a basket and add a cute label named BANANAS FOR MONKEYS.

More monkey food coming up!

I made an easy BANANA PUDDING FOR MONKEYS. I don’t have a recipe on my blog but I like this Banana Pudding from Epicurious or this Homemade Banana Pudding from the Baker Chick . I adjusted the recipe a bit because I didn’t use any Vanilla wafers but placed half a ladyfinger in each dessert cup… just to keep things simple but still delicious!

Got some BERRIES FOR HIPPOS from the farmer’s market (blueberries, red & yellow raspberries and blackberries), placed them in some cups and made a few cute Hippo Toothpick Stickers (free printable coming soon in Part III of my post!).

Moving on to the cupcakes…oh my, I had so much fun decorating these JUNGLE ANIMALS CUPCAKES. They were Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting from Annie’s Eats. I’ve made Annie’s cupcakes before and loved them so decided to go with this recipe for the party.

I made every single JUNGLE ANIMAL FONDANT CUPCAKE TOPPER – from lions, teddy bears, monkeys to hippos, giraffes, tigers and elephants. Plus a few toppers with number one but you can personalize these based on your little one’s age.

If you don’t want to spend the extra time to make your own fondant toppers no worries, I’ve got you covered! You (can) will be able to download for FREE my Jungle Animals Cupcake Toppers that I’ll provide shortly in Part III of my post. Just print them on heavy cardstock paper, cut them out, tape them to ice cream sticks or toothpicks and pop them on cupcakes! Cute and simple decorations!

After all these yummy desserts I bet everyone is thirsty so let’s not forget the JUNGLE JUICE! Buy one of those water/juice glass jars with a faucet or borrow one from your friends (like I did 🙂 ). We filled it with orange peach mango juice but you could use anything you like.

Oh, I almost forgot, my Nutella Peanut Butter Monkey Cupcakes would be just perfect for this party theme as well!

Since I’ve been asked before what I use to bake and decorate my cakes, cookies and cupcakes here are some of the items:

And Daniel’s cute teddy bear in case you were wondering where I got it from :):

This must be the longest post ever but I truly hope it will help many parents out there organize an awesome Safari / Jungle Birthday Party on a budget. If you’ve found this useful I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

Go On a Wild Adventure with These Safari Theme Party Ideas

For a little explorer, there’s simply no better way to celebrate than a safari theme party. Whether you’re hosting a 1st birthday party or a birthday slumber party for tweens, it’s a theme that you can really bring to life with impressive decor, styling, and treats. 

If you’re ready to host one of the best safari or jungle theme party events of the year, we’re here to help. Get inspiration for your safari theme party with these decor, food, activity, and invitation ideas. 

10 Adventurous Safari Theme Party Ideas

Design: Noonday Design

You can really go wild with a safari theme party and transform your space into something magical. Here are some of our favorite safari theme party ideas for decor, activities, food, favors, and more. 

1. Make It a Costume Party

If you’re inviting lots of wild ones along to your safari theme party, this is a must-have. Take your birthday party idea to the next level by turning it into a costume party.

Ask your party animals to join you dressed up as their favorite zoo animal or safari creature. Keep it open and let them choose their own costume, or ask people to take an everyday T-shirt and customize it with animal prints or designs to show off their creativity. 

2. Host a Safari-Themed Sleepover Party

We love a sleepover or slumber party , and it feels like this is one of those themes that’s perfect for it. Celebrate an animal birthday or safari get-together by asking your guests to stay overnight and stay up late.

Transform your living space or bedroom into a safari camp with beautifully styled mini tents, or ask people to bring along a sleeping bag for a more rustic feel. Add some themed party decor like balloon garlands, strings of faux leaves, or animal cutouts to really enhance the experience. 

3. Go Wild with Animal Print

What better excuse than a safari theme party to go a little over the top with animal print birthday party decorations? There’s something fun about layering plenty of prints together to create a zany, unique take on the jungle party theme. 

Look for tableware, table covers, party plates, and more safari theme party supplies that heavily feature animal print. Keep it all to one type — like leopard print — or mix in some zebra or giraffe print for a more eclectic look. 

4. Transform Your Space into a Jungle

This idea takes a little more planning and plenty of safari party supplies, but it’s well worth it for a special birthday or occasion. 

Layer hanging backdrops filled with palm leaves or tree-themed fabric, and hang earth-toned balloons, cutouts, or decorations from your ceiling. Invest in some color-changing bulbs to add a cozy glow or create a sunset effect, and add natural textiles and animal decorations to complete the look. 

5. Fill Your Party Venue with Jungle Safari Animals 

When it comes to planning the ultimate safari theme party, you can’t go wrong with plenty of jungle animals. Whether you fill the space with them, or hide them around as a fun mini game for the kids, it’s a super fun way to bring the theme to life. 

Use animal cutouts to create an adorable photo booth area, or feature tiny toy jungle animals as part of a themed centerpiece or table decoration. How and where you display the animals is up to you, but it wouldn’t be a safari theme party without them.

6. Host a Jungle Obstacle Course

If you’re looking for something to tire out your wild ones, a jungle-themed obstacle course is a wonderfully interactive idea. It’s an ideal activity for kids of all ages, and you can tailor it to your theme, group, or event type. 

You can create your own obstacle course using everyday objects like couch cushions or hula hoops, or invest in an inflatable obstacle course for a big milestone birthday celebration. However you choose to do it, this is a great way to use up some of that energy ahead of cake time.

7. Set Up a DIY Crafting Area

Create a space where younger guests can relax (and still be creative) with a crafting area. Set up a party table somewhere away from the noise and offer your guests fun ways to engage in themed crafts. Download printable animal coloring pages, or find the instructions and materials for a DIY safari craft for kids . It’s a sweet way to offer a place to calm down while still having plenty of fun.

8. Splash Out on a Safari Theme Birthday Cake

If you’re putting on a safari theme party for a birthday celebration, you’ll need a cake that fits the occasion. Whether you opt for an expertly baked masterpiece or a homemade treasure with an adorable cake topper, it’s sure to be one of the guests’ highlights. 

You can take a jungle theme cake in a variety of directions. Choose a simple sponge cake and add a personalized cake topper, or go minimal and stylish with a giant palm leaf design. Think about what the guest of honor would love to see as you all sing “happy birthday.”

9. Give Your Birthday Buffet a Safari Theme Twist

Buffets are great for a kids’ birthday party because people can pick their favorite snacks and treats without too much going to waste. It’s perfect for those picky little eaters who just want to fill a plate with cheese, crackers, or cocktail sausages. 

To liven up your birthday buffet, give your foods a safari twist. These monkey sandwiches are adorable, and this giraffe cake dessert board is a gorgeous way to get your guests enjoying lots of fresh fruit. For snacks, a jungle safari trail mix is easy to make and works great as a sleepover midnight treat. 

10. Create Themed Party Favor Bags

Your safari theme party is turning out to be epic, so you’ll want party favors that live up to the same hype as your main event. Luckily, you can put together goodie bags that match this theme quickly, easily, and affordably. 

Choose a favor bag or box with a safari theme or animal print design, then add in a few classic items like stickers, candy, and bubbles. For an extra treat, send your guests home with a safari animal cupcake or a personalized animal pencil or coloring set.

Safari Birthday Cake

April 22, 2013 by Leia

So, last week I had the pleasure of making a fun safari cake for a cute little 4 year old girl.  Her mother happens to be a FABULOUS photographer and she shared these pics with me.

(You all know I can’t take a good picture to save my life.)

This was my first attempt at zebra print, and I really enjoyed it!

I thought the cut out animal silhouettes were fun.  I turned my fondant into gumpaste for those babies just to give them a little more stability.  I made them the day before the party, so I let them dry over night in the oven with the light on and they turned out just perfect.  Firm, but still pliable enough to curve and match the shape of the cake.

Overall it was a great experience!
