Monkey Business

Cake Monkey Bakery

One look at a fluffy kitty, cuddly pup, or tiny babe, and you just want to gobble it up.

But, c’mon, nobody likes a baby-eater.

Feast on Cake Monkey instead. The darling mini layer cakes and treats from sweet tooth visionary Lisa Olin and pastry wiz Elizabeth Belkind will propel you into sugary cute overload on sight.

Baked to order by the dozen or mixed gift box, each three-inch round is made for one. Go for decadent Black & White, Boston Cream, Almond Orangutan (almond cake, orange preserves and buttercream), or Must Love Chocolate (devil’s food, Valrhona pearls, chocolate frosting, honeycomb crumbles). And it’s impossible to ignore adorable takes on down-home faves like Moguls (neo sno-balls), Inside Out S’mores, and Pop Pies (a.k.a. Pie Tarts).

All ingredients are first rate and every filling, icing, and bit of flair are made in house.

These ladies don’t monkey around.
