This was my 3rd Madagascar character related cake. I have made a box of cupcakes with them and another non fondant covered cake some time ago but this was one of my most awesome cakes in size, colour combination and number of figurines.
Alex the lion
King Julien the Remus
Underneath him, resting under the shades of the trees was Marty the zebra
Melman the giraffe
Bright cheerful flowers all around the bottom tier of the cake with dark green colour to achieve the cartoon lively effect
My favorite character, the penguin
Gloria the hippo
a 3 tier cake built with 10", 8" and 4" cakes
