Monkey Cake Pan and Cake Kit

Use a specialty cake pan or cake kit to create a fun party treat!

Wilton released the Monkey cake pan #2105-1023 in 2008.  This specialty cake pan comes with complete baking and decorating instructions.  The Monkey cake pictured below is a sample of how the finished cake will look. 

There is also a Monkey cake kit available that is super adorable.  The cake kit comes with a plastic Monkey head, tail, hand holding banana and feet.   This decoration would look terrific on a cupcake cake.  Simply bake your cupcakes, frost with chocolate icing and then arrange on a 9 X 13 cake board in a pattern similar to the one pictured.  Add the plastic decorations and your monkey will come to life!

Monkey Edible Cake Toppers

A simple way to make an awesome cake!

I love edible cake toppers!  I have used them a few times in the past and am always pleased with the results.  If you are not an advanced cake decorator than an edible cake image is a simple way to create a masterpiece that will wow your party guests.

The monkey cake image featured here is from Lucks.    This cake topper fits a 8" round cake, but it can also be used on a sheet cake like you see here.   You can add some palm trees or other decorations on the sides to fill in the white space. 

If you are hosting a Mod Monkey party, there is a large selection of personalized Mod Monkey and Monkey Love cake images available on Ebay.   These monkey cake decorations can be used for round cakes, sheet cakes, cupcakes and even cookies.

The Fingeroos Monkey cake kit is offered by Decopac.  Each monkey cake kit includes eyes, feet, hands and ears and is made to fit on a 4" dome cake.   You can use the Wilton Mini Wonder Mold to make your cakes and then decorate. 

The mini monkey cake can be placed on top of a larger sheet cake or placed on a round cake plate and surrounded with cupcakes.  Another option would be to give each child their own personal cake.  They will love that!
