Simmi's Elephant

I made this cake for a competition in a magazine. You have to send them a photo of your child with their birthday cake, so although Simmi's birthday is in December, I made this cake especially for the competition because it ends on 15 July 2011.
Above is the photo I entered.  It's quite cute I think, and shows off the cake nicely.  I completed the cake at 23h00 last night, and Simmi was very excited when I told her it was her cake.  She's used to all the beautiful cakes going to other people :-).

This was another fun cake to make.  I used a ladybird moulded tin to bake the vanilla sponge, and then turned it into the elephant.  It tastes good too, but it really broke my heart to cut it!
