Tyler's Monkey Birthday Cake!


Happy Birthday Tyler! My cousin's son Tyler turned one and she asked for a monkey cake with the colors green & blue and said I can do what I want. I love it when I can just have fun with the cake design and I think this one turned out great!


I made all the monkeys, the number 1 and Tyler's name out of fondant with Gumtext in it. I decided to show close-ups of the monkeys because they turned out so cute!


This is the monkey on the side of the cake reaching for the number one. I love it when kids stick out their tongue when they are really reaching for something so that is what this monkey is doing. Sorry the picture is a little blurry.


This monkey is eating a tiny banana!


This is Tyler's smasher cake. I used the mini bear pan and cut off the ears then attached them a little lower with icing. I also had to shave off the bear's tummy and legs to make it look more like a monkey. The face, legs and tail are all icing!
