There are also Jungle Book and Winnie the Pooh figures, dragons, a shark and paper toppers with bunnies, butterflies, flamingos, dinosaurs and reindeer.
Tips for cakes with animal figures
- Create a scene: green buttercream or tinted desiccated coconut becomes a meadow, crushed chocolate biscuits make soil and blue icing a pond. Two or three figures look better than an overloaded cake.
- Gift and decoration in one: after the party the figures become toys, a lovely keepsake for the birthday child.
- Paper toppers for cupcakes: bunnies, butterflies or dinosaurs on sticks are ideal for muffins and cupcakes, at Easter as well as at kids parties.
- Hygiene: wash the figures in warm water with a little washing-up liquid and dry them well before use. If you like, stand them on a small piece of baking paper or a thin fondant disc.
Frequently asked questions
Are the animal figures food safe?
The figures are toys and are not meant to be eaten. Once washed they can stand on the cake as decoration, but should be removed before cutting.
What age are the toy figures suitable for?
Check the age recommendation on the packaging. Small parts are not suitable for children under three, so keep an eye on the little ones while they play.
Are there edible animal decorations too?
Yes, for example the woodland animal chocolate decorations in this category, or dinosaur and woodland sugar decorations among the edible cake toppers.
