This Monkey Birthday Cake was for my son’s first birthday. I also had cupcakes with monkey flags, stuffed animal monkeys and bananas hanging from the trees in our yard, monkey face cookies I made. So much monkey stuff – even a monkey pinata!
For the cake I used a 6 inch round cake pan and 2 mini cupcakes for the ears. I trimmed the cupcakes and then ‘glued’ them on with royal icing. I had thought about doing fondant on the cake but this was my son’s ‘smash’ cake and I thought frosting would be easier (and taste better). I did use royal icing for the ears and mouth and then chocolate sprinkles for the hair.
