Cade is a big celebration, everyday. But when he turned one, oh man. Time to bring out the big guns :) His monkey birthday party was a hit, even though I took on too much by myself ( no surprise tthere) and ended up finishing the cake at the last minute. The tables were covered in yellow, with bunches of tropical leaves down the middle, each topped with a bunch of fresh bananas, and a stuffed monkey. Scattered around the tables were candy bowls of runts bananas and gummy bananas
. The bottom tier was my fantabulous 'Reese's Cake'; a dense and moist peanut butter cake with a creamy peanut butter filling, then iced and filled with a rich chocolate buttercream. mmmm.... and the top tier was equally delicious... fluffy white cake with my homemade buttercream, fresh raspberries, and lemon curd filling. Oh, so good.
The head was a styrafoam ball covered in fondant, and everything else was edible fondant pieces.
