Thanks to everyone for being so organised with your advanced orders!
We'll see you in 6 weeks!!
The Monkey Tree has been creating edible images for nearly 14 years! Pick up is available 24/7, as we have a contactless collection box.
Please ensure you have ordered at least 2 business days before you would like to pick up and you have received the pick up instructions from us by email
Thanks to everyone for being so organised with your advanced orders!
We'll see you in 6 weeks!!
This is our last week of printing before we're closed for nearly 6 weeks!
If stored correctly, our images keep for up to 6 months, so hurry to the website!! (photo of a speeding cat, just because i can) đ
When your colour matching drops in after only 1 draft! đ I cant wait to see what these cakes look like!!
Sooo, it looks like it's another 'after school holidays' meme time...
We've taken phone calls and read emails before we even start work today. A lot are from parents that have left organising their child's birthday until the last day because, hey they've had school holidays.
This is not our fault. Let me write that again...This is not our fault.
We wont take aggression via email or phone calls, because you are running late.
You're not alone, judging by the amount of orders placed over the weekend, there's dozens that are also doing the same.
So, before you bash out that email, or send a 2nd email because the first one you wrote late on Sunday night hasn't yet been answered, take a breath, have a coffee (or wine, whatever floats your boat at 9am on a Monday) and consider being nice! I guarantee it will get you alot further today!
I simply wont stand by and let you take your frustration out on us.
For the record, I was still working at 11pm last night, to make our Monday easier for everyone!
So....be nice!

The humidity is so high today, it's best to leave your edible image air tight until the moment you need to add it to your cake! If you have a dehumidifier or air con, even better!
Also, not gonna lie, this image is 'actual footage' of my hair right now after visiting the pick up box!! đ¤Ł
And we have our winners, chosen by Patch!
Kayla Hamilton and Vicky Cox!!
Your page wonât allow us to tag you both sorry, but please message us with your preferred session time and weâll see you there!
You can also buy raffle tickets from the event finda page!)
We canât wait to see you tomorrow!!

Apologies for the delay, we had Downey here until very very late for a massive water blockage caused by thousands of baby wipes further up our streetâŚseriously, who does this? Every person with half a brain cell knows baby wipes donât break down and are a huge environmental disaster!
Anywayyy, we will do the draw now with Patch lol, and weâll see you on Sunday!! Photo of patch with some of the raffle donations (you need to buy raffle tickets, the prizes are huge this year)
We will draw the winners at 5pm tomorrow (Friday) so keep commenting and sharing so you can join us for some wet and flooofy fun!!!
****We have 2 free tickets to give away to one of BARK NZ's Bark in the Pool sessions this Sunday!****
Every year we sponsor BARK NZ's annual fundraiser, because, well, we love dogs and we love kids!! BARK NZ teach primary and pre-school aged kids how to be safe around dogs. They have an awesome in-school program with visiting dogs
Simply comment "BARK NZ" and you'll go in the draw to win! There are 3 sessions to choose from on Sunday. There are also some amazing raffle prizes and free giveaways! (plus hundreds of dogs, what's not to like?!!)
There are gift vouchers from Mitre 10 (major sponsor) and also an XL Brooklyn bed!! (it's MASSIVE!) kindly donated by Brooklyn Dog Beds

Don't forget Friday is a public holiday! Tomorrow (Thursday) will be the last day for printing until Tuesday, we're still taking orders for pick up until 5pm tonight...So, put down that chocolate (or wine đ¤Ł) and place your order!!
So this week I learned that you can buy snail lollies! (not actual snails đ)
Remember the snail image?! Check out the incredible cake, made by Julia Morgan, with snail lollies!!!
Cakes don't need to be boring, you can have your own print idea on your cake!

Seeing as this now comes up almost daily, I can't even imagine how many customers we're losing! So, if you use Eero via Mercury, here's a link to unblock us and many other genuine companies. Eero makes us look like a fake account, and its so frustrating.

We're not just all about unicorns and super heroes! Check out this fine specimen đ¤Ł
Charlie asked for a 'snail cake' and this is exactly what will be on the cake!

To the customers that offered help, to the customers that understood that I'm a little broken right now and to the customers that were patient and understanding....thank you!
I've been overwhelmed with your kindness â¤ď¸
I hope everyone has an awesome summer weekend!
When you apparently donât have enough spinal fluid to make good decisions and you print 200 instructions from 1985 (ok, mildly exaggerated), what do you do? You do stickers!!
thank goodness theyâre nearly all used up, but for those that have received orders in the last few days, hereâs your bonus sticker for your ROUND image!!
(Note: weâre not countdown, no pots and pans for these stickers đ)
Seeing as this pops up several times a month, let's talk about Eero..
Eero is a mesh internet system that appears to hate NZ small businesses, Mercury even have a page dedicated to fixing this issue, rather than actually fixing the issue themselves!
Here's the link that Eero customers need, in order to be able to access small business websites (as if life isn't hard enough already!)
Soooo, my planned surgery didn't go as planned (see what i did there? đ¤Ł) The surgeon accidentally cut into my spinal cord fluid. You think you've had headaches before, absolutely nothing compares to a SCF leak headache! Anyway, I'm slowly getting back into a vertical position again and I figured i may as well clear some of the backlog of orders, seeing as I cant do much! So if you need anything urgent, just shout out, or place your order via the website. Oh and Happy New Year!!! đ
Absolutely superb Walking dead cake by Natalie, if youâve seen the show youâll recognise Lucille, sitting there lookinâ all innocent, but we all know what she got up to đŹ
We always love side cake prints, they really make the cake âpopâ
.

Who doesn't love Elmo?!! This perfect cake was made by one of our customer, Maree.
I cant think of a better combo than cake with m & m's!
Just fabulous, I bet the kid's loved it!
Sooo, i rarely post anything personal, our focus is always about our customers and their amazing work, or a fab new product.
But today appears to have brought out the worst in people and to be honest, I've had enough.
We will always go out of our way to help you, wherever we can. You've forgotten your child's cake? We will work late to help you. Another overseas supplier has let you down? Again, we will be happy to help you create something awesome.
You can choose how you talk to other people. Shouting at us because you've forgotten your child's birthday this weekend, or you've written your email incorrectly and didn't get the tracking? none of this is our fault, and yet....we will still help you.
You have no idea what another person maybe dealing with, so please, choose to make your first instinct the right one, and be kind.
How cool is this?! Absolutely love the delicate butterflies and fairies! â¤ď¸
Sooo, I can pretend that I knew who this Pokemon character Kabutops was before this order, but i really didn't đ¤Ł
Made by Caroline for her son, after some very 'specific' requests, we think this cake is just fabulous! (and so did her son, scoring her heaps of 'best mum credits')

Sorry for any inconvenience, I know how much you all love those last minute orders!!)

Instead of saying 'who needs an edible Barbie Box image?" we should be saying 'who DOESN'T need one?'! đ
