Monsters Inc has somewhat fallen to the wayside now that Monsters U has come out. It’s still a cute movie, but difficult to find many decorations that don’t have the updated university imagery. But my friend wanted to do a Monsters Inc party, nonetheless. And she recruited me to make the cake and smash cake.
We decided on a Mike themed smash cake and Sully themed big cake. The size difference was a great fit. I thought maybe I’d put fur on the whole large cake, but it turns out that frosting fur is much harder on my hands than I had thought. So, I decided to stop after covering the sides and then do some piping on the top.
The small cake is vanilla cake with vanilla Bettercream frosting. The large cake is two layers of yellow cake and a layer of chocolate cake with white chocolate and caramel mousse fillings. I frosted the cake with chocolate buttercream before decorating. It was really yummy.
