The Hippo and cosmetics are made out of Gum Paste and the bubbles are made out of fondant. I sprinkled some edible glitter on some of the bubbles for some shimmer because we all know bubbles shine. The zebra print is one of the new sugar sheets made by Wilton. They are really convenient and easy to use. You have to be a little careful because sugar sheets are harder and stiffer than fondant.
