This is what your birthday party looks like.
I'm 100% proud of how my banana cake and chocolate cream cheese icing tasted. And I'm 95% proud of how the monkey cupcakes look. I'll admit, though, that I'm only about 60% happy with how the cake looks. Rolled fondant takes some getting used to. Plus, the cake was so ginormous and moist (if I do say so myself), that it started to fall apart before decorating, so some last-minute surgery was needed before decorating even began.
Anyhow, we had a wonderful 2nd birthday celebration for my darling Stella, and I have a new cake to add to my ever-expanding menu.
