Structure Parts: (Watch our live session on cake structure to learn more!)
16" x 18" cut MDF board for cake board base
7" round cut MDF board for canopy
22" tall threaded rod (we used 1/2" thick rod but any thickness will do)
3 (or four if you'd rather) washers used (size to match thickness of threaded rod)
4 nuts used (size to match thickness of threaded rod)
Notes:
I baked 2 cake layers in 3" deep, 12" round cake tins, which equaled 5" in height when leveled, torted and filled to create one cake tier
I used a 10" round cake tin as a guide to create the crib parts

Monkey Cake, Part 2
Note: You can also use melted candy melts as glue to attach the ears to the cake! Isomalt does have the potential to melt modeling chocolate pieces (unless they're extra thick like the ears in this project) but it works beautifully when attaching fondant or gumpaste to fondant as it doesn't melt ...
