My ex-mother in-law asked if I can make her the mod pod pop monkey cake she said for me to make it how ever I like so Im really stressing on it. This family is very judgemental and I want to make it as good as posible Im not sure if I want to make it a 3 tier or what so if anyone can give me some advise I would greatly appreciate it Thanks soo much.OH I just wanted to add that my ex-mother in-law is the best and I would do anything for her she has always been a mother to me, the rest of the family are JURKS! lol.

okay... so lets monkey around with them.

first look at this pic:

now look at this:

now look at the pic below:...would attach a wooden plate at top to hold the cake (attach just like the bottom)

taper the tier's less than in pic so as to match the shade on the monkey lamp

see where I'm going?

gumpaste monkey

shade is the cake -- could cover in BC and then add fondant dots and trim

that would certainly be impressive.
