Inspiration: Animal Cakes
We love an animal cake! One of our favourite things is sculpting animal cakes – it gives us the perfect opportunity to go a bit crazy and bring creatures of all shapes and sizes to life.
As a nation, we love our animals, and we have fierce discussions about team cat vs team dog. Indeed 40% of us own a pet. Not just pets, however, we embrace animals in films, in home decor, kid’s cartoons and story books.
Here are a few of our favourite animal-inspired cake designs – from dogs to giraffes and everything in between.
Dog cakes
Dogs are a man’s best friend, 17% of us own a doggy. We especially loved this cute pug dog novelty cake and his toy bone.
Woodland animal cakes
These autumnal cakes are so adorable, indeed with some animals, we see a little less often taking pride of place atop these wooded stumps.
Mythical creatures
These would make the perfect centrepiece for any children’s (or adult) party! The cute dino with blue spikes is simple, yet effective and the unicorn is bright and colourful – plus we love a sculpted, novelty cake!
Bunny rabbit cakes
We just love creating cute fondant figures of rabbits. They are so popular on baby-themed cakes or cute 1st birthdays.
Sculpted Pets
We recreated someone’s beloved pet cat out of cake – complete with handpainted tortoiseshell colourings. And a doggy with his favourite toy. We are happy to recreate your own pet out of cake.
Mini zoo
One of our most ambitious cakes was a mini zoo. This was a joy to make with 11 cute animals. Llamas, wallabies, monkeys, a parrot and a skunk!
In the Jungle
Jungle animals are also a popular request. Most often featuring on 1st birthday cakes and with elephants being top of the list.
Everything in between
We’re happy to make any animal cake, here are a few others to inspire you.
