1

box Betty Crocker yellow cake mix

1

banana

1

can Betty Crocker vanilla frosting

1

can Betty Crocker Chocolate frosting

• 1 Make yellow cake mix according to package directions using oil, eggs, water. Mix in 1 very ripe banana. Bake one 8-inch round cake for large monkey face and one 4-inch round cake for small monkey. Bake one mini cupcake and one regular size cupcake for ears. (Each ear is one half cupcake.) Bake a small amount of batter in two foil-lined bowls to make the monkey face stand out. Bake according to directions for cupcakes and round cakes.
• 2 Remove cakes from pans and cool completely. Freeze cake pieces covered so they will be easier to frost. Tint the white frosting with a small amount of the chocolate to make a light brown color. Assemble and frost monkeys following photo. Improvise where needed. Decorate with candies.
