I was asked to make a baby shower cake two weeks ago. I immediately knew it would be a fun project once I saw that there were monkeys involved.
There is a screen shot...see isn't it adorable? The color scheme for this baby shower was pink and teal. The decorations contained both light pink and hot pink colors. For this cake I used Wilton's fondant and Duff's pink fondant. The darker pink that you will see in the photos below are from Duff's fondant. In my opinion Duff's fondant is a little bit softer once you put in the microwave for a few seconds. It makes it hard sometimes to cover a large cake, but I like it because the colors are always so vibrant.
The bottom is cake, of coarse. The top, which is the monkey, is made up of Rice Krispies. Once you pop it into the microwave for a few seconds it easy to mold and form it into whatever shape you're looking for.
The circles on the cake where done with a small cookie cutter. The balls around the cake and monkey's head, are made from a silicone ball maker. It's perfect for putting a border around the cake. I got it from amazon a little while back.
The final product. A cute little monkey and big congrats to the new parents.
