When all else fails, try smoking a cigar and have a stiff drink. If that doesn’t work… have another.
This whiskey and cigar cake was for my dad’s birthday a few weeks ago! It was a german chocolate cake with coconut pecan filling and chocolate buttercream. I sprayed my dad’s favorite candies with edible gold to decorate, added a ganache drip, and finished it all off with some coffee flavored ci**rs and mini whiskies.
Tell me your buttercream dream and let me help it become a reality for your next event!

Just adding a little more greenery to your feed!
This cake was so much fun to design! I love working with greenery and this Madagascar cake had such a cute little vibe! This cake was for a little girl’s first birthday party, and a little over a year ago, her baby shower cake was MonkeyBug Cakery’s first official order! So sweet and special to have this come full circle! Maybe some day I’ll even get to make that sweet girl’s wedding cake!
Thank you to ALL of my amazing clients who have made my dream of MonkeyBug become a reality!

Betcha didn’t see this camo Kit-Kat cake coming!
I love getting requests for things I’ve never tried before! During our consult, this client mentioned that her husband loves hunting and all things outdoorsy! So together we came up with this! A camo cake with big buttercream swirls on top, a chocolate ganache drip, and gold leaf on the bottom edge to give it a little something extra. And this cake has a secret inside! Crushed dark chocolate Kit-Kats between every layer of cake! Her husband’s favorite candy! I went ahead and did a rough chop on some more Kit Kat’s and added them to the top to tie it all together and I think it turned out amazing! This client put a lot of thought into this and I heard the man of the hour absolutely loved it!

Here’s to love, laughter, and happily ever after!
This wedding cake set was created for one of my oldest friends for her very special day! The brides cake was a semi-naked red velvet cake with gold leaf and silk flowers and my cream cheese filling! The grooms cake was a lemon cake with my homemade lemon curd filling and buttercream frosting designed to look like cut logs with the bride and groom’s initials “carved” into one. I used the same silk flowers on the grooms cake. I feel so honored to have gotten to be a part of my sweet friend’s wedding in such a special way!

Baking + Teaching = dream come true

Welcome to MonkeyBug Cakery! My name is Abby and this is my story...
My cakery inspiration is due to my daughter and son whose nicknames are Monkey and Bug.
It all began when my daughter’s first birthday was quickly approaching. On a whim I decided to make her first birthday cake and smash cake! I had such a blast making that cake that from that point on my children’s cakes have been made 100% by me out of my kitchen. All of my expertise is self taught with hours of mess-ups and successes, which has led me to my current skill level.
Monkey’s first birthday cake led into my passion of preparing kids cakes. However I have been known to do a sophisticated cake or two over the years. I love seeing the look on my kids faces as they light up and admire the artwork I put together for their special day. I’m now ready to venture out into sharing that same joyous smile on other children’s (and adults) faces as I make each one out of my own kitchen.
A little about my “day job”...
I spend my time as a teacher at a Christian non-profit preschool where my love for God and nurturing kids are combined. I absolutely love my job and my kiddos. I have truly felt that working with children is God’s calling. Making cakes designed for children is an added bonus that I look forward to pursuing more.
I pour my heart into each cake to make it as unique as your child. My love for brainstorming with clients assured that my cakes will make the perfect addition to your event. I am eager to start working on your next cake. Message me so we can get started today on planning the cake of your dreams!
Hi MonkeyBug Cakery, your cake is included in a competition on page [12] here http://u5.cakes4us.com/i2jsj4. How did you join on that?
Thank you, MonkeyBug Cakery!!!! My daughter’s 12th birthday was super special! Abby Barker brought together both my daughter’s loves of Harry Potter and Unicorns, and created this masterpiece. My daughter was overjoyed, and my husband(who doesn’t like cake majority of the time) had a SECOND helping! Lol.
Hey girl, could you do a Harry Potter themed birthday cake? That has Dobby, Snape, and Always on it?
