Monkey Cakes!!

Monkey themed birthdays are all the rage! Last week we were asked to make two monkey cakes. The first was a 6 inch cake with a monkey standing on top and cupcakes with chocolate monkey faces on each one. The second was a chocolate monkey sitting on the edge of the cake holding a number one candle.

We made the monkey out of Modeling chocolate. He was modeled after the birthday invitation.

We placed him on the cake. Each chocolate monkey on the cupcakes was custom made by us using chocolate. Happy 1st Birthday Milo!!

We made a chocolate monkey and sat him down next to a number 1 candle. the plaque was made out of chocolate! Happy 1st Birthday Benjamin!!

Hail to the Redskins!!

Last weekend was Redskin cake weekend! We were asked to make a Groom's cake with a chocolate Redskins football and a Jersey coming down the side of the cake. The second cake was a Birthday cake with a chocolate Redskins football on top. We love making the footballs and can paint any team logo on top.

We start 0ff by tempering chocolate and making the chocolate football in a mold

I sketch out the logo with a food color marker

Then I paint in the colors

The final colors and details are painted on last

Here is the football on the groom's cake! Congratulations Meghan and Pat!!

Here is the other football on the Birthday cake! Happy Birthday David!
