Answer 1

What is the occasion or is it just a cake for no special reason?

Since I don't know if there is a special occasion, I was thinking about what people do in the summer.

Cook out or go to the beach.

I would make either a giant cheeseburger or beach complete with palm trees, ocean, sand, and sunbathers.

Answer 2

How about a giraffe wearing a striped red and purple scarf?

That would be a gorgeous cake with the long neck of the giraffe. Imagine the pretty fringe on the scarf contrasting with the earth tones of the giraffe.
