This was my 2nd cake for the Lunar New Year – year of the monkey.

The King Monkey was fondant hand painted with gel colours. Actually it was for a project which didn’t come to live. It was ready to go on a cake but i couldn’t keep it 12 years til the next ‘Year of the Monkey’!!! LOL! So i have decided in the last minutes to make this cake for the celebration at my parents place. A simple and fast design because i had not much time.

This cake was a bomb of flavours!! It’s was a vanilla cake filled with fresh mango buttercream, ganached with milk chocolate, dripped with white chocolate and lemon candy melts, decorated with chocolate cookies filled with banana cream and durian (stink fruit) waffles, chai tea Mikado, white and 100 % dark unsweetened chocolate. The flower and leaves were made from Chinese spring roll sheets/wrappers.

Thank you for looking.
