    Today's Jungle Sheet Cake design is perfect for jungle or safari themed birthday parties!

    What makes this cute design even more fun is that we've created a zebra print pattern on the inside of the cake. We hope that you enjoy the video!

    We used simple templates to cut out our fondant animals, and painted them. I love the painted effect! You could also tint your fondant if you would rather and layer on the details. Have fun with this design- and if you try it, we would love to see in the comments below!  

     

    Materials For Jungle Sheet Cake:

    Fondant (I kneaded a little tylose powder into my fondant as an optional step- it makes it set up more quickly)

    Template for Jungle Animals, Etc.

    Coloring Gels: Americolor Egg Yellow (lion & giraffe), Chocolate Brown, Avocado Green, Leaf Green (I used a combination of greens), White, Super Black, Orange, Sky Blue

    Vodka, Everclear, or Lemon Extract- Combine with coloring gels to create your "paint"

    Small paint brushes (that you keep on hand for cake decorating only)

    Extruder- Optional- I used a clay extruder for my vine across the top of the cake

    Letter Cutters- I have a set of Wilton letter cutters that I used for my "Happy Birthday" message

    Piping Tips: Tip 21 for piping around the sides of the cake, Leaf Tip 352 or similar for borders

    xacto knife or sharp knife for cutting out fondant shapes using templates

    Miscellaneous: Disposable Piping Bags, Spatula, cake board, cake base, rolling pin for fondant

    For the Zebra Print Pattern on the Inside of the cake

    I used Duncan Hines cake mix to create a zebra pattern for my jungle sheet cake.

    I made one batch of White Cake Mix and one batch of Devil's Food Cake Mix. I liked the consistency of the batter. If you are working from scratch or a doctored cake mix, choose one that isn't too runny or too thick. 

    We used a 9x13 sheet cake pan (greased & floured as usual and with parchment on the bottom)

    The zebra cakes that I have made in the past were round cakes (as we demonstrated in this Zebra Print Cake Blog Tutorial). Round zebra cakes are a little more predictable because you add the scoops of batter until all sides meet the edge of the pan.

    With a sheet cake, you'll likely need to do as I did and have more than one "spiral" of batter. Every slice was different- some more perfectly striped than others, but overall I got the zebra pattern that I was looking for- It's a fun theme and also a fun alternative to marble cake!
