This wonderful cake was made by Zuzana Vancova

In this collaboration “A date with nature” I decided to make an elephant in the tropical jungle. The elephants fascinate me since I was a little girl. They are so majestic and cute. They are highly intelligent animals with complex emotions, feelings, compassion and self-awareness. In feng shui they represent strength, protection, wisdom, andgood luck. I model small elephant from sugar paste with its wrinkles and trunk up. Also, to represent tropical rainforest jungle environment, I made monstera leaves. They are so beautiful and unique. This tropical plant has glossy, vibrant green leaves that are perforated with holes. I used these leaves on my cake to give it more realistic and exotic look. I made these leaves from wafer paper and painted them with different shades of green colors. Orange deep color of sunset cannot be missed. A round cake is representing sun and its orange has great contrast with green leaves.
