I made this cake for a little boy’s birthday celebration party who loves everything related to Curious George.
Fondant was not a decorating option in this case, so I used it only for a board covering and message cut-outs. For everything else I went with freshly made marzipan instead – just a little bit over a kilo :) All these bananas, as well as the monkey, were glued to a buttercream frosting while it was still soft. The cake itself was chocolate-banana, filled with whipped milk chocolate ganache.

Hi Vera,
Do you think the monkey and the bananas could be made well in advance and then assembled on the day of birthday?

Adeline, yes, you can make them weeks in advance.

Thank you all, for such kind comments!
Nancie, I baked the cake in a Wilton princess mold which provided the hill shape instantly :) You can also bake a cake in any mixing bowl.
