2D Monkey Cake for A Pre-School Graduation
Monday, November 2nd, 2009This cake was for a pre-school graduation. I used a Wilton shaped pan and then decorated the cake with buttercream. I used the star tip to do most of the work and round tips to do the outlining. To make the border I first piped using the shell tip and then I added the leaves and vines. The graduation cap is made with fondant.

I used the Wilton mini bear pan along with star tips to pipe the bear and create the shell border. ****Tip*****In order to make the eyes, nose, ears, etc smooth dip your finger in corn starch and pat down the buttercream icing. See my post on how to smooth out buttercream on cakes and you too will learn how to get this polished look.
