Sam is a real boy's boy so a jungle themed party was decided.
With monkeys and lions on the menu (fondant types only :) ) I began decorating the cheeky monkey faces and saw them coming to life before my eyes, they were perfect.
Now that the cupcakes were done and dusted, I began work on the cake, a banana cake of course, what else would monkey's eat?! To adorn this cake, the idea of a lion was genius. Since Sam was about 5 months old, he has been attached to his "Leon" soft lion toy, which goes everywhere he goes. As a result of this special bond he shares, I thought I would pay tribute by moulding a lion for on top of the cake.
In the end I was really pleased with the results, these characters had really taken on a life of their own and depicted Sam's cheeky, wild nature to a tee.
So here's to our little man, who is the real little monkey xxx Mummy (Kate) and Daddy (Karl)
