Noah's Ark Cake

This was definitely one of the most fun cakes to make. A chocolate cake Ark, topped with lots of little animals. 

This was the first time I've attempted painting on the icing with food colouring to get a wood effect, I would definitely recommend this rather than trying to marble lots of shades of brown together; was much quicker!

I chose the animals that would give the most variety in colour and that might appeal to a one year old. I know that my girls were very disappointed when this one left the house!!
