Make a simple cupcake look like a Monkey!

An idea taken from my red striped practice cake - thought animal prints might be fun. So, tiger, giraffe, cow and zebra. Lemon sponge, buttercream spreading, rolled and layered fondant (orange home dyed) . Will give them to my nephews and niece tomorrow. Am thinking about doing a full sized tiered version.....if i have the time and ability!
