Baby Cakes

 

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!

Happy Birthday Presley!

Ruffle Cake

The ruffle cake!  A new trend in cake decorating I've been anxious to try my hand at.  This baby is THREE entire boxed cakes and EIGHT cans of frosting.  Add to that a touch of carpal tunnel syndrome from the repetitive motion and voila!  You've got a ruffle cake.  Really pleased with the super femme and frilly results.  Check out the pics below for more details.
