So I have a request for this cake. I have no clue how the bananas were done. Any ideas?

was that picture from here on cc gallery.

I'm not anywhere near that talented .. I'd like to see the answer

They must be marzipan

A friend and I made this exact cake except the monkeys were sitting on top of the cake rather than hidden under the bananas. We baked a cake in a large pyrex bowl then flipped it over, frosted it with buttercream and then made about a million bananas out of yellow gum paste and then with little paint brushes dipped in brown Wilton gel and painted the brown accents on the bananas. It was a little time consuming, but pretty easy. Now that I have used marshmallow fondant I would rather make my bananas out of that because they would taste WAY better than sugar paste ones. As for the monkeys I think we stuck a new beanie type monkey on top but you could easily make those faces out of the mmf too.

the reason why i ay that is because you can ask the person who did it for the step by step on how they did it, but from what i think their is a lot of bananas your going to be doing and i think what is best would be to use fondant. that all i can think of. sorry if i wasn't much help...

Some of this stuff can be done by sculpting cake crumbs. If you contact Diane Shavkin and email her the pic. she will come up with something. She is also going to be at the Cake Camp. If you haven't been to her site it is a great place. Tomorrow, I am going to a class and I will print this out and bring it perhaps I can get the info there. I love that cake! Fearlessbaker

I say to make the bannannas outof fondant or candy clay, thenpaint details of brown makes...

I believe that's a cake from thecakefairy.co.uk if I'm not mistaken. It's a great cake! I hope to get to make one similar to it one day soon for a friend's little boy's 3rd birthday. I would think the bananas are either marzipan or fondant that's been painted afterwards to get the darker areas on them. It would be really easy to make them using MMF...plus it'd be more likely that they would be eaten.

yea its from the cake fairy. I was thinking i could do mmf. It seems like so many though. Maybe I could come up with some sort of mold....
