After a 7-month hiatus from CC and baking, I was able to do this cake for a dear friend with a new baby. Thanks to stellastarchild for the Converse template - I have wanted to try it for so long! I did not have gumpaste so I used fondant mixed with tylose. Traditional WASC cake with vanilla buttercream. The monkey was added at the last minute, to match a mural on the baby's room wall.
