Evil Monkey Birthday Cake

Evil Monkey Birthday Cake on Cake Central

Bday cake for my twin sister ("the evil twin")! I wanted to use her fave colors - black & burgundy and make it gothy for her. The bottom 9" is lemon blueberry cake. It is filled with a mixture of bc & lemon curd and iced in bc. The top cake is choc choc chip pound cake with alternating layers of choc and cookies & cream filling and iced in choc bc. The monkey is MMF and so is her name. The flames are also MMF that I colored and then airbrushed. The studs are edible silver dragees.

If I didn't read that this cake gave you some difficulties I would think that it was fun to make! It's so cute, yet has that Goth look too. Well done!
