Elephant Fruit Cakes
As a result of the Covid lock downs the Saddle Off projects were closed for over two years and had few visitors making it difficult to provide sufficient food for the elephants. While the elephants are able to forage on natural vegetation their diet needs to be supplemented with extra food including grass and cornstalks. Elephants love sweet fruit and vegetables but with no visitors the elephants only received such treats occasionally.
The elephant fruit cakes made at our Saddle Off projects and given to the elephants are made from a variety of ingredients. The base of the cakes are made with steamed rice or sticky rice, mashed bananas, rice husks, cooked corn or corn powder, tamarind, salt and sometimes papaya, watermelon, sweet potato, turmeric and a medicinal vine. Around the cakes is a variety of fruit and vegetables which may include bananas, watermelon, pineapple, papaya, mango, apples, mandarins, grapes, figs, tomatoes, pomelo, star fruit, guava, cucumbers, carrots, pumpkin, corn, sweet potatoes and sugarcane.
When the elephants see a fruit cake waiting for them they are always so excited and it is a real treat that they enjoy so much. Thank you to all of our supporters who have given fruit cakes and food gifts to the elephants or sponsored an elephant. Your support is greatly appreciated.
We offer cakes specially designed cakes for the elephants including large size and extra large gourmet elephant fruit cakes. The teams at our Saddle Off Projects make beautiful cakes for your special occasion which the elephants are always so happy to receive. Please note that sometimes we can make cakes quite quickly and can provide photos and a video to you within 2 weeks from the date of your order. For some more remote projects it can take 3-4 weeks to get the photos and video to you, depending on how many cake orders we have at the time. It takes time to arrange visiting and making cakes for the elephants and we ask for your patience and understanding if you have to wait a while to receive your photos and videos.
