Monkey Cake

I made this monkey cake for our daughter’s 6th birthday. We had a monkey party. I got the idea from Martha.

I baked the cake in a bowl and the ears were cut from cupcakes. I used lots of skewers to keep them attached. I iced the entire thing with dark chocolate frosting (you will need lots) and added the yellow details. The “hair” was piped on with a tip. The mouth is frosting and the eyes are Junior Mints.

We decorated with yellow and monkeys were everywhere. The kids made monkey necklaces and played monkey games. The treat bags were filled with monkey items and banana candy. We even played only monkey music. It was a big hit.
