I LOVE this Monkey



Well this is the first "Big" cake I attempted. It was for my cousins baby shower. The monkey and frog are made of MM fondant as well as the initials and they are on 3 MM fondant baby blocks which are decorated with buttercream.

  2. Well if you notice the look of a lean, it was actually extremely warm on that day in March, and this particular baby shower was outide, and this food table was about ten feet from an open door. I think it was more melting than leaning, but some of both was going on. This one was very tricky because the middle of the top one was actually unsupported since the blocks are angled. After I set up, I actually had to place a dowell under the board for extra stability. The cake was a huge hit though, and I was very proud of it being my first fondant, stacked construction, and figure modeling attempts.
