Lately, my daughter and I have been watching a lot of Ace of Cakes on the Food Network. It is all about a bakery in Baltimore, MD that makes really cool cakes.
My daughter asked me if I could copy one of their cakes for her birthday and this is the result. Not as good as the original version, but I was pleased nonetheless, considering I had to make my own fondant, don't own an airbrush and have to work all my cake making in around my paying job and other activities.
We'll have to see what my son requests now for his birthday later this summer.

It's fantastic! I think you did a great job. Love the monkey who's laying on his back looking upside down. Really cute.

It's a fabulous cake. I concur with the previous comment about the prostrate monkey.
But where is this bakery? I'll be in Maryland until June 20th, and we're only twenty minutes or so from Baltimore...

The name of the bakery that produced the inspiration is Charm City Cakes. Their web site is www.charmcitycakes.com
Unfortunately, I don't think they have a retail store. But you could order a cake and have it delivered to your hotel while you are out there.
