King of the Jungle Baby Shower

I've decided to create a blog to post all my cakes to, so forgive me if I have to backtrack a little.  This was the first cake I was asked to make. It was for a "King of the Jungle" themed baby shower back in January.  You can see the decorations fitting the theme here: http://www.partypail.com/king-of-the-jungle-baby-shower.html.

I had never made a tiered cake before, nor had I experimented with fondant or gum paste.  Nevertheless, I gave it my best shot and this was the result:

White cake filled and iced with buttercream and covered in fondant.  The accents are fondant. The lion is gum paste.  The grass on the top is buttercream.
