    I just love sweet baby shower cakes, and today's Elephant Clothesline Cake design is a new favorite of ours!

    In this free cake video tutorial, we will show you to create adorable fondant elephants, a clothesline filled with baby clothes, and a sweet cake topper.  You can use these techniques for other themes and occasions as well!  We hope that you enjoy it!

    Materials for Elephant Clothesline Cake:

    (For this cake, we used two stacked 8" and 6" tiers, frosted with our fluffy vanilla buttercream recipe. Each tier is on it's own cardboard cake circle cut down to size, and the top tier is resting on 4 bubble tea straws, cut down to the height of the cake as usual. For more info, check out our tier stacking video.)

    Buttercream of choice (We used our Fluffy Vanilla Buttercream from our Recipes section. Our Classic Vanilla Buttercream would be a good choice also!)

    Templates (for Elephants and Cake Topper)

    Piping Gels: Americolor Deep Pink, Mint Green + Avocado Green combination for grass, Super Black, Electric Green

    Piping Tips: Tip 3 & 6 (for polka dots), Tip 3 for piping, 233 grass tip

    We used a Makin's Ultimate Clay Extruder (affiliate) for extruding the "Baby" lettering.

    Black Food Coloring Pen for eyes

    Pink Petal Dust (optional) for rosy cheeks

    Gum paste for elephants and cake topper- You could also use fondant with tylose powder kneaded into it.

    Fondant for clothes (I like to knead a little tylose into it.)

    Miscellaneous: Sharp knife or xacto, parchment paper, small paint brushes, piping gel

    Lollipop Stick

      Hi Melissa,

      This is the most adorable cake that I’ve seen in a long time. Melissa I have one question, these cakes are 3 layers, right?
