Hippy the Hippo Birthday Cake

Another year and another birthday! Went big again this year as we had close to 50 people at the party...almost did 4 tiers but decided against it, so 3 again. So much for the 1 tier for every year.

This was a fun one. The birthday girl picked out the theme and the colors. The Mrs. played a big part in baking and helping design and decorate. We really stepped it up with new decorating techniques we have never done and, we also used marshmallow fondant to the mix for the hippo topper.

Special thanks to my mom for the tips in stacking the tiers and for giving me some of grandpa's old decorating tips from the bakery.
