This cake was made for a birthday party for twins at Cartwheels and Coffee. I was told to include a monkey and Elmo and the colors pink and orange, so I came up with the idea of Elmo on safari, looking for a monkey. The flowers and the bow in the monkey's hair fulfilled the orange requirement, and the pink car took care of the pink. The waterfall was so cute and fun to make. The rocks are brown/orange fondant rippled with brown gel coloring. The cake itself is vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream frosting and filling. Everything else on the cake is fondant and entirely edible.
I made the monkey using a tutorial online and I was very happy with how it turned out. I love the bananas. And I'm getting better at Elmo, as I've made the little stinker about 45,000 times now. He really is the epitome of happy and glee, isn't he? I have a pair of binoculars tucked under Elmo's hand in this cake.
