chocolate monkey cake

today was my nephew's curious george themed party so i experimented with this cake. i used peanut butter frosting instead of the caramel frosting the tutorial called for. i just love chocolate and peanut butter together so it was a no brainer. also, i think i might have used a slightly larger cake pan because the image of cutting a cupcake in half for the ears seemed ridiculous. he's a monkey, he should have big ears! so, i used a cupcake for each ear. i knew from previous experience that my peanut butter frosting doesn't spread too well but i think it still turned out somewhat cute. nels sure liked it!


it looks like my decorating skills still need some work though.
