  4. Using a spoon alternative the cake batter into the cake tins on top of each other. Do not swirl just layer the batter. (Black, Orange, black, Orange, white) and repeat until all batter is used. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, covering with foil at the end if the top is browning.
  5. When a tester comes out clean, transfer the cakes to a cooling rack and let it cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan.
  6. Once cooled down it’s time to spread the chocolate Orange Frosting on top of the first layer of cake and place the 2nd layer on top like a sandwich.

  8. Roll out the Orange icing thinly enough to cover the whole cake.
  9. Roll out the black icing thinly then cut out black stripes and place on top of the Orange icing to represent tiger stripes.
  10. Using the black stripes as stencils to cut around on the Orange icing and place the black stripes into the Orange icing.
