I then had someone want one just like it but in hot pink. This cake is bigger than my first one.

Before I started the cake I made the zebra. Here is what you need. On the left, the body and below is the head. On the right side from top to bottom. Tail, front legs, ears and back legs. All made with gumpaste.

I made this on top of a six inch pan. The size of the top layer. First I added the head with a little water.

I then took black gumpaste and cut a rectangel out. I then cut all the way down to make a mane.

I attached it with water. Sorry about the next two blurry pictures.

Next I cut out some half circles and wrapped them around the end of each leg for the holves.

I added a little hair to the front and two eyes.

Add some gumpaste stripes and there you have a cute little zebra.

Now on to the cake. The night before I do the cake I make my fondant so it can sit over night. I made an 8 inch and 6 inch French Vanilla cake. I crumb coated them both. (see the crumbs ha ha)

This is the 6 in covered with fondant and the other one is a 10 in board that I decided to cover to put the cake on.

For the larger cake I rolled out white fondant. I then cut out black fondant for the stripes and layed it on the fondant. This is how I make my zebra stripes lay flush with the white. I cover it with plastic wrap and then roll the black stripes into the white. Awesome trick right! Next put this on the cake.

Put it all together and add some ribbon around the bottom if you like.
