A Wild Kingdom, In Your Kitchen?

Your kids love animals. They can’t get enough. You’ve taken them to the zoo. Bought every picture book you could find. Even paid for an encyclopedia, in monthly installments, all so they could learn more about the creatures that share our planet. Yet your children want more.

What can you do?

The answer lies not in the fertile plains of Africa, or the forests in the Pacific Northwest, or the mighty blue ocean. No, the solution to this question can be found in the wild jungle contained within your kitchen.

Here you can get an up close and personal encounter with a variety of animals including butterflies, turtles, elephants and more.

Oh, there is one catch!

These adorable creatures aren’t real. They’re actually cakes!

Take a look!
