I made the mistake of turning my friend loose on CC to find a design for her son's first bday cake. She came back with this lovely design from cakemom24

It serves way too many people, and quite possibly beyond my skill level. If I tried to reduce the servings by doing the monkey only (all cake), what shapes and pans would you recommend using?

Would you put a dowl through the whole thing and into the cake board?

I always have problems posting links, hopefully this will work
