The giant panda has long been symbolically linked to China, and more recently, a symbol of the conservation movement, more specifically the coalition to save “Endangered Species.” This hand-molded cake, shaped in the likeness of one of those docile animals depicts a panda, chewing on its favorite food, a bamboo shoot. The characteristic coloring, black patches around the eyes, and black round ears capture the essence of this spirited, peaceful creature. The combed icing calls to mind the soft fur, and the claws remind one of the strength and power they possess. For the conservationist, or simply for the “panda-phile”, this charming design will fit the bill to a “T.”
