Pink Mod Monkey Cake

Pin ItThis cake was originally published in April 2011.. Asher was about 4 months old!

Welcome to RoseBakes!   If you’re visiting from AdventuresinSavings.com, thanks for coming… please click around and stay awhile!  If you like this cake, be sure to also check out my newest Pink & Green Mod Monkey Cake here!*

Note:  I used to publish all of my cakes over at AdventuresinSavings.com.    Now that I’ve started RoseBakes.com (as of January 2012) I want to transfer and update all of my posts/pictures with watermarks and info relevant here.  So over the next few weeks (or months) I hope to work my way through all of my old cake posts and republish them.    The only downside?  My older pictures were terrible not great, but maybe you’ll forgive me!!

My inspiration for this cake is Bailey’s birthday party theme – Pink Mod Monkey.   I love monkeys, so this cake was really fun for me!  And I guess monkey’s are “in” right now.  I have possibly 2 other monkey cakes coming up and they seem to be popular in baby clothes right now as well!

Asher , April 2011 ( ~4 months old)

Asher probably has 4 outfits with monkeys on them.  See those tiny little monkeys with surfboards?  How cute is that?  Oh, he also had monkeys on his feet…

 

By the way, he was really worn out… he fell asleep in the front carrier like that while Caleb was carrying him around.  I was working on the cake and the kids took turns entertaining baby.  You can see more of him here.
Back to the cake.  I cut the letters out of gumpaste with these funky alphabet cutters here and here.  I love these letters!  I traced around them on green to get the background on them.
The top layer is chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream and the bottom is vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream, covered in marshmallow fondant and decorated with a gum paste number and letters, and all the other decorations are marshmallow fondant.
Do you have questions about how to make this cake?  Leave them in the comments and I’ll answer as many as I can!

      Hi Ericka! I printed out a copy of the head on the napkin or plate (resized to the size I needed it… about 4″ I think). Then I cut it out and laid it on brown fondant, and cut around the edge with an Xacto knife. Then I cut the picture into pieces and traced the face, ears, etc. onto lighter brown and cut them out the same way! I “glued” them together with sugar water. Does that make sense?
