Bookish Banana

This cake was a quickie, but filled with love and gratitude for my colleagues at work who did so much to get a big book shifting project complete way ahead of our scheduled deadline.  I'm so lucky to have a great bunch of people working with me!

The cake is banana and the frosting was made with two sticks of butter, 2 lbs of confectioners sugar, and half a can of full fat coconut milk.  Scrumtrulescent!

Monkey Cake

Monkey cake was a 1st birthday cake for a cute little baby girl.  I worked on it all day Saturday and delivered it this morning to her family.  Hope they enjoyed it!

The design was based on an image I found of Hello Kitty dressed up in a monkey costume.  I just left out the whiskers and the bow.  It kind of looks like a monkey, right?  A really cute anime monkey?

It was a two-layer fudge marble cake with a butter cream coating and outer coating of chocolate fondant.  The belly face, hands, and feet were vanilla marshmallow fondant.  The pink ears were strawberry fondant.

I ended up giving Monkey a teeny chocolate belly button, which is unfortunately not pictured here.  I think the belly button made the cake over-the-top cute.

Happy Birthday, little cutie!
