Weekend Projects of the Cake Variety

I've spent the majority of my weekend in the kitchen doing my favorite thing: decorating cakes. This monkey cake might be right up there with my favorites! I haven't done much with fondant, and not much sculpting, so I really enjoyed molding these cute little pieces. It's basically a grown-up version of play dough (yummy tasting if you make the marshmallow fondant like I did!).

Here's the monkey (with palm tree and bananas)

Here's the whole cake

My second cake was for Andy's birthday (celebrated a tad early). I told him the cake was just like him:

Classic on the outside

with a little bit of redneck on the inside!
