"Madagascar" Cake Entry at the ICCA Novelty Cake Competition 2011

This is my "Madagascar" themed cake that I designed and submitted as entry at the ICCA Novelty Cake Competition 2011 held at the Mines International Exhibition Centre on June 9th to 12th. The panel of judges consisted of  Rosalind Chan (founder of ICCA and renowned cake designer from Canada), Chef Wan (celebrity chef and 'Food Ambassador of Malaysia') and Master Chef Tan See Fong. The cake earned a "Highly Commendable" title as one of the top entries in the competition.
