Here's a great birthday cake idea that's a little different.

Great for kids that like to try new things! I know my kids always loved animals and the zoo when they were young.

This cake is very easy to make. It's really all about buying the flavored icing and pretending you're an artist for a few minutes.

In fact, let the kids help you decorate and they will be convinced that the cake tastes better than any they've ever had.

You can use popular kids books to help with the animal art. And don't forget to let them have fun!
