The Monkey Baby Shower Cake was a 3 layer 14 inch round cinnamon cake. I used cream cheese icing and piped it all over as stars, and made the rattles, baby bottles, safety pins and letters out of chocolate.
The monkey is also made out of solid chocolate, and it ended up weighing 4 lbs! I attached 2 large plastic dowel rods to the back of the monkey with chocolate and let it set, then placed it on the cake when I arrived at the site. I attached lollipop sticks to the back of each letter with chocolate to make it stand up straight.
The rattle and bottle were attached to the monkey with icing, and I piped the bib on with icing. When I made the chocolate monkey, I used peanut butter wafers for the nose and mouth area, dark chocolate for the pupils, white chocolate for the eyes, and milk chocolate for the body.
When making a large chocolate like this, make sure to melt all of the chocolate you’re going to use first, instead of adding some at a time, the consistency and smoothness is much better.
