Chevron Sock Monkey 1119F

This is a 2 layer white velvet cake with raspberry filling and white buttercream frosting. It was a 1st Birthday Cake for a little boy, chevron stripes done in turquoise and red wtih a lit candle being held by a precious SOCK MONKEY!
I had to have my husband make a template for the chevron stripes to make it easier to cut out the fondant. It is very time consuming otherwise. Putting the stripes on takes time but is easier if you have the stripes on a non-stick piece of parchment the way you want it laying on the cake. Saves a lot of time!
