Showering a Baby

I have this friend, who is pregnant. She was nice enough to invite me to her baby shower, so I offered to make her a cake (since I am a nice person too). The theme was jungle and the baby's room is decorated in all sorts of jungle paraphernalia (it's pretty dang cute or pretty photogenic, at least, since I have only seen pictures). It is decorated in Target's NoJo Jungle Babies stuff, and, since the baby shower theme was a jungle theme, I had the genius idea of making a jungle themed cake. Yes, I know, I don't know how these wonderful cake themes come to me either, I am just brilliant :P
Anyway, the cake took FOREVER to make, but was totally worth it, even though I didn't get to have any because at the shower they didn't want to cut into it and I had to leave early to pick EC up from church. I am sure it tasted great though, since I used a recipe that Addie has raved about, and she has yet to lead me astray. I also used a Raspberry Icing recipe for the filling of one cake and for the cupcakes. B said she liked it, so it may be what I use for the upcoming wedding cake.

Raspberry Icing

1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 stick butter, at room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar (sift if lumpy)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam (or more to taste - I added more, I also couldn't find seedless, so mine was seedy - hee hee)
1-2 drops red food coloring if desired (I did not so desire)

Mix ingredients together first on low speed, then beat on high until frosting is fluffy.
