Jack Skellington Cake

This is actually a birthday cake for a little girl turning 4 and loves jack skellington! I added a bit of pink to it (hat and banner) to make it a bit more feminine since it was for a girl. Jack is made out of MMF and hand sculpted. It was so much fun!!!

That is a great way to do the pinstriping, very easy and a great way to think outside of the box. The figure is perfect, you should be so proud! I wouldn't have wanted to let it go! :lol:

thank you so much for all of your kind comments! the pinstriping was actually really easy to do. after making the figures in just plain white mmf, i let it dry for a couple of days at least (it doesn't work well if too soft) i painted it with black food coloring and then using a toothpick scratched off the black making stripes showing the white underneath. easy peasy!!

Truly amazing! How did you get the MMF so black and apply the pinstripes on his suit. I just adore this cake - your sculpting is awesome! I'd love any tips for MMF you are willing to share! [email protected]
