Jungle-icious!

So, when I had to make my nature-nut boyfriend his birthday cake, his only request was that it had a monkey. If you know him, you know that he wants a monkey every year in some form...




I designed the cake to be an edible ecosystem! This was my version of a triple-layer chocolate cake, with chocolate icing, filled with cannoli cream, complete with a monkey on top. All the animal-elements were edible and included two hidden elephants, a few snakes, and eyes from some other shy jungle critters. Perfect for an over-grown child with a large imagination. It's perfect for regular-sized children too!



I wish the pictures on this one were better, but at the time, I didn't have a good camera!
