Monkey business



Two of my most favorite things, cakes and donuts!

Why: One of my husbands coworker wanted a monkey cake for his kids birthday. His wife saw this decorating idea online and after 2 failed attempts, was ready to ask someone else to give it a go. Later on, a friend of mine wanted the same cake for her little boys birthday. Not wanting to miss the opportunity to make sure that their little one got all sugared up, I made a "smash" cake just for him.

What: To be honest, I don't remember what the first monkey cake was. I think it was yellow cake with raspberry whipped cream. The second cake was a chocolate cake with vanilla pudding in the middle. Both cakes were covered in ganache and the mouth and eyes were made out of marshmallow fondant. The small smash cake was just remainder chocolate cake covered in ganache.
