Hi,


My friend's daughter has a baby shower September 11th. They asked me if I could make the cake. I said I would make it as my gift to her. The colors are brown, pink and pastel green. The theme of the party is a cute baby girl monkey. I came up with a couple of ideas, but i'm not too convinced about them. Many of the things I came up with are not a my decorating level...lol I am fairly new at this and do it as a hobby. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

I will attach pics of the monkey.

Thanks

Here is a pic that looks identical to the napkins. It was made by a fellow CC'r so I am sure you could ask her if you need any hints on how she did it. Looks pretty straight forward but super cute!! Good luck and post pics once your done

Thanks! That is so cute! Do you know who on CC made it?

Her name is tristaross. Funny, I just happened to have this pic saved in my fav's and when I saw your pictures of the theme, I thought," Wait a minute, I recognize that design!" Funny how that works out sometimes

You could also do something similar to this...

stacyllind and tanstaafl Thank you both very much. I hope I can do something as nice as those two cakes. It has to feed 75 to 100 people, so I have to figure out sizes too.

this is one by eatCakes that I have saved in my favorites. Looks like it would be a good match to the invitations

What about trying a Frozen Buttercream Transfer? I did a Super Mario cake (in my pics) this way. It's pretty easy. There's a tutorial on you tube and on this website too. Go to the "search" and type "frozen buttercream transfer" and you'll see a picture tutorial on the technique. Hope that helps!

I just did this one for a baby shower. Not exactly your design. But easy enough to adapt. Plus it's three cakes so it can serve a good number.

You can also check out one I did and make the monkeys girls!

Marla84, doramoreno62, artscallion, Becky1679 Thank you all very much for the ideas. You are all very talented.

I will keep you all posted and will post pictures.

You may already know what you're making, but here's an idea... We also made this monkey in pink for a baby shower for a baby girl.


Good luck!

Thank you all very much for your help. Cake is only one week away! Now i'm a little nervous, but I will give it 100%! I will post pictures when the cake is done.

Hello everyone,

I made the cake. I wanted a lighter shade of pink and got a very dark pink instead. I'm still happy with the way it came out. My friend and her daughter loved it! Once again, thank you all very much for your help.
I will try to post the picture here, but if it does not work the picture has already been uploaded to my album.

It turned out so cute! Great job!
