Giraffe Cake Recipe

-Vanilla cake batter • How to Make a Pink Zeb...
-Vanilla buttercream (tan, light brown, white) • Perfect Buttercream Ic...
-Chocolate buttercream ( • Homemade Chocolate But... )
-Fondant (black, brown, tan)
Giraffe Cake Procedure:
1. In the bottom of a greased 6" cake pan, place 1 cup of vanilla cake batter. Cut the chocolate cake into chunks and place into the vanilla cake batter. Cover the chocolate cake pieces with vanilla cake batter. Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 350F for 35-40 minutes. Repeat for 5-6 layers of cake.
2. Once cake layers are are cooled completely, level and then stack the cakes, filling the layers with white buttercream. Cover the cake in shades of brown buttercream, starting with the chocolate at the bottom, tan in the middle, and the lightest at the top.
3. Mix brown fondant with tylose and shape the ossicones ("horns" on top of the head) and insert a dowel into the flat end. On the top end, use a straight blade or fondant tool to score marks. Using black food coloring powder tint the scored end of the ossicones. Insert the ossicones into the top of the cake.
4. Cut the ears out of brown fondant and line the inside of the dark brown, with tan brown. Shape the ears (curve them) and allow them to dry. Place them besides the ossicones.
5. Cut out shapes from brown fondant and attach to the back of the cake, and add the pattern from behind the ossicones, down, and around the side of the cake.
6. Roll black fondant out into 3" long round pieces. Slice the end about a half inch in and curve it slightly upwards. Place onto the cake with a brush of water.
7. Pipe a tail around the giraffe, using the tan buttercream, and place pieces of brown fondant onto the buttercream.
8. Slice and serve cake when desired. Cake is best consumed within 2-3 days and kept in a sealed container in the fridge.

Fun Giraffe Fact: A female giraffe's ossicones are usually covered in hair and a male giraffe's ossicones are bald on top. That's how you can tell the difference between the ladies and the gents if you ever find yourself on safari 🙌🏻
this is cute love watching you bake these beautiful cakes
I have been enjoying watching April and Oliver and can't wait to see the new baby ❤❤❤
Jenn, this is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!
This is so cute! Giraffes are my on of my favorite animals!
For the light brown you could also use peanut butter buttercream. That would go well with the chocolate/vanilla cake. As well as if you put cake boards in your cake, then it would go chocolate vanilla peanut butter.
This is so effect my birthday is on April 18 and I looooooooove giraffes!!!
Simple yet so adorable!!!!
Jenn you are my favorite KZreadr ever, when I found your channel I was so excited and have been watching your channel for over a year now, you were a big inspiration to me and I really respect that. I am sure you are an inspiration to many many other people. I use your cake recipes and your buttercream recipes, they turn out so awesome. I bet my cakes and cupcakes would be way better if you were with me to help. I LOVE you😁😁😁😁😁😁
She is a very creative cake maker.
This is so cute!! 😍
Hey Jen you should do a fondant 101 video it would be useful.
THIS CAKE IS BEAUTIFUL!
Look amazing Jenn Johns
My particular favorite type of giraffe is the reticulated giraffe! Most giraffes are meant for the zoo and are also meant to nibble, stretch their long necks, be graceful, to appear in children's books as the letter G, and to appear as the mascot in the Toys R Us commercials.
I love your cake videos
Adorable!
Sooo cute!

I thought April was going to have her baby on the 1st but she had it on the 15th. Her baby is a boy and he is so so so cute. We were watching her all morning when she had him. It was around 8:40 when it came out and they told us it was a boy around 8:00. I am so happy for April and Oliver.

I don't know if it's true or not but I heard she was in a really bad abusive relationship and had to leave it all behind. So sad
you are a really talented baker
wondering, if you want all chocolate buttercream, could you add white gel paste to make it lighter brown.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!!

You should do a calibration with how to cake that
i clicked on your vanilla batter - but how much of it do i need to make for all the layers in this cake.... should i double it or is that the correct amount. I am going to try to make this cake on the weekend.
lol this whole process for the video took less time to make then it did for her to have that baby. it's really cute though!

For the hair could you use cotton candy instead of just painting it?
