Monkey Cake!

This is a variation on the Martha Stewart monkey head cake. It's simply two 9" round chocolate cakes stacked with banana pudding as a filling, frosted with chocolate and two chocolate cupcakes (just some extra batter) cut in half and stuck in with toothpicks. Yellow frosting for mouth and ears and Junior Mint eyes, snipped fruit leather nostrils, red hots for mouth (I forgot to buy red candy for the mouth - should have used licorice).

Oyster "cake" For 50Th Birthday

Studied and experimented to be sure this turned out right. Not quite a cookie or a cake. Made for my mother-in-law's 50th birthday to say she is a pearl after 50 years. Tortilla cut into a scallop shape and baked into a bowl, covered in melted white chocolate, then brushed on pearl dust. Added a dark chocolate edge (lots of pics of oysters had it where the top shell broke off). Pearl is made of white chocolate plastic with pearl dust too. Starfish: white/dark chocolate combo and white choc/peanut butter.

Cookie Swimming Pool

Blue sugar cookie dough glued together with royal icing (and strengthened with melted chocolate on one side of each cookie) then filled with cornflakes mixed with marshmallow creme (dyed blue), complete with a cookie swimmer! For my brother-in-law's birthday and a horrible representation of the image of what it would look like in my mind! I am tempted to try again and do better.

Birthday Ballerina Cookie Card

Made this for my sister-in-law's 14th birthday! She takes dance classes and especially loves ballet. Supposed to be a ballerina on a stage with an audience watching her.
