Figures and 1st birthdays...

So 1st Birthday cakes often present a challenge. You generally have to feed a crap load of people but you also want something that the new toddler can smash and smush. As you can see in this photo... the cake is built in tiers and the top most one is actually only slightly larger than a cupcake.


Figures can be great cake toppers. This monkey is fairly simple to make (mostly just circles and rods). The internet can be very useful to find ideas. This one is a conglomeration of several different monkeys that I found online.
