Cade's First Birthday Monkey

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.
