How do I make a mask...masquerade/mardi gras mask? I am trying to make a mask that looks like the top of a jester hat. However, I'm not sure of how to accomplish this . Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Pics of what I'm trying to accomplish:

Hi,
Another CC member posted this pic of a cake they made with three or four mardi gras masks,

They explain in the description that they bought plastic masks, covered them in gumpaste.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Start with a mask form you can get at a local Michaels, HL or JoAnn's shop. I think getting a full face shape might be best.

Roll out your gumpaste and lay on the mask to shape and form to your desired finished product. Then decorate. HTH

I have a phantom of the opera cake with masks. I purchased masks and dusted them with cornstarch. Layed gumpaste over and let them dry for a couple of days. They dried hard I then airbrushed the purple sheen and it worked prefectly. good luck

Dry the basic mask on a plastic one

You will probably have to make the three curly things on top extra and let dry, attach with royal icing when dry

Thanks so much..to all of you!
