The Amazon Rainforest On Earth Day

This Terrific Earth Day Cake was made by Kim Simons from Cakes By Kim Simons located in the United States.

This Cake is part of the United Nations of Sugar Art (UNSA) Earth Day Collaboration: Acts of Green-UNSA 2016.  This event focuses on the beauty of our planet, its animals, and its people.  It will touch on the damage that is being done to our environment and how that damage is affecting humans and animals alike.

Take a look at Acts of Green-UNSA 2016 to view more cakes and look at raffle tickets and prizes to raise money for National Geographic which is a non profit committed to conservation and education of our emerging leaders.

Kim is not a traditional cake artist. She enjoys creating sculpturally unique and beautiful cakes and food art while pushing the limits of construction and design. Her strength is in her designs, mastery of painting with edible colors, and the ability to sculpt incredibly realistic nature scenes. Kim has a reputation for creating amazingly realistic looking animals out of sugar and has earned the respect of her peers. Kim teaches classes and performs demonstrations all over the country.  

This Earth Day cake does a great job representing the different layers of life in the Amazon Rainforest. This picture shows fish in the water. There are lush vines with green leaves around the water. A leopard is drinking out of the water.  Butterflies are flying in the air near the leopard.
