Monkey Shower Cake

This cake is a redesign of a cake I previously made. Who doesn't love a cute little monkey??

 

This 8" square cake is marble with vanilla buttercream filling, dyed blue for the little baby boy who will be here soon :)

 

 

 

 

Cake is covered in fondant with fondant buttons, bow and letters. The monkey face is hand cut :)

Shower Cake for Ryker

This cake was made for one of my closest friends. We have shared so much over the years from going to school, to weddings, to kids. I was so happy to be able to make this cake for her. The nursery theme was monkeys/junglish so I based the cake on that.

Both 6" and 8" cakes were chocolate with cookies and cream filling...as per requested by the Mama :)

All decorations are fondant and 100% edible. I just bought a new button mould so I wanted to use it on the cake.
My amazing friend recently had her son, Ryker Thomas Danger Kaye weighing in at 7 lbs 5oz. He is adorable and I love him so much!!

Olivia's 2nd Birthday Cake

My baby just turned two....oh my! I still can't believe it. It feels like yesterday I was just looking into her little eyes and holding her little hands. It wasn't long before she became our little monkey :)

To go along with her nickname I decided to make a monkey cake for her.



The top tier is a dummy tier made from rice krispy treats and covered in fondant.
The bottom tier is a carved 8" square chocolate cake filled with two layers of vanilla buttercream and a layer of chocolate fudge. The cake is covered in fondant and decorated with fondant flowers and dots. The monkey was hand cut.

Since I carved the 8" square cake into a round I had scrape pieces of cake. I mixed those with some icing and made them into matching cake pops for the guests.
