This cake was created for a baptism at the Morton Arboretum. Woodland creatures were used as the theme of the party. Each table had a wooden animal ornament for the table marker and beautiful fall flower arrangements included trailing ivy. I used all the elements to create the cake design which included a chipmunk, grey squirrel, hedgehog and a red cardinal. I truly enjoyed creating these chocolate critters -- especially the little chipmunk with fat cheeks full of berries. This has got to be one of my favorite cakes! The cake was spice cake with vanilla bean buttercream filling and covered with white chocolate.
