An elephant cake

A friend asked me if I would make an elephant cake for her book club that had just finished reading, "Water for Elephants". I have not made an elephant cake before and these pictures were taken in the fridge. I forget to take pictures of the cake and when I remembered I had already put the cake in and once a cake is finished I like to move it as little as possible- so, thus the poor lighting! I thought it turned out okay for a first attempt- I think a person could tell that it was an elephant.
