Curious George Party Cake

I want to say that this is a Curious George Cake, but I don't think the monkey looks like him enough. However, if you asked the birthday girl who that is on the cake, she will tell you "George!" So there you have it, a two year old knows who it is :).

The inside of the cake is a from scratch  Lemon Poppy Seed. It tasted delicious but just like the Oreo one I made (Olaf cake), it too crumbled out of the pan and I had to piece it back together. I made it work though. I covered it in yellow cream cheese frosting and then made buttercream frosting to do all the actual decorating. Adding Runts bananas onto the trees afterwards. I was pretty pleased with this cake and so happy that my birthday girl enjoyed it too.




Side note: I need central air! My kitchen was so hot after baking the cake that while I was decorating it one of the trees timbered (melted) off of the cake. Swamp coolers and hot summer days are NOT ideal for cake decorating.
