Monkey Shower Cake

Mod Monkey Birthday

I'm sure everyone's familiar with this sweet Mod Monkey design (available on line and at party stores everywhere), so when my client asked for a Mod Monkey birthday cake and coordinating cookies for her darling one year old's first birthday, I knew exactly what she was talking about.  I was happy to be working with such a cute and simple design.  My real problem was that my client didn't want a cake decorated with sugar cookies, which is becoming a specialty of mine.  Uh oh.  Luckily she wanted something simple so we decided on stripes and polka dots with a Mod Monkey cookie cake topper (had to throw one in somewhere!)  Here's what we came up with.  Enjoy!

Alright, alright.  I snuck in another cookie!

She also wanted a small smash cake for the baby.

Alternating ruffles.

Here are the coordinating cookies to go with Miss Presley's cakes.  Monkeys, bananas, flowers and cookies that look like the birthday girl herself, including her party outfit!  Enjoy!

Presley - in cookie form!

Happy Birthday Presley!

Go Bananas Shower

This shower for my soon to be sister-in-law's cousin was so much fun to pull together. The only guidelines I was given was to go with a monkey theme. Other than that I had free reign to "go bananas" with all the special touches - so I did! A mix of bold, graphic patterns in cherry red and happy yellow with lots of monkeys and bananas thrown in make this bright and cheerful shower pretty irresistible. Check out more photos for all the great details!
