Can you share you recipe/experience making it? I found the one on Martha's website but I am scared that I will screw this up!! I need some inspiration...

Mine was awesome--if I may AW myself here LOL.

I used the Wilton monkey cake pan and then decorated it with the tips that were necessary.  I had signed up for a class at Michaels to decorate it and learned that part in one night--you can self-teach as well.  Not as hard as I thought it would be at all.

It really got tons of compliments.

For flavor you could do any--but I chose banana for my practice cake--and ended up doing french vanilla for the day of.  I also served cupcakes since the cake isn't as large as we needed it to be.

I made the one from the Martha Stewart website.  I did make a practice cake first b/c Im not the best cook and all ovens are diff.  It turned out great.(it was the monkey head cake)  If I can do it, anyone can.  DS loved it b/c it was banana's and he loves everything banana.  Good luck.
