Mardi Gras Cake With Gumpaste Masks, Gumpaste Flowers, Royal Icing Trellis Work
This cake was for an epilepsy foundation fundraiser in Rochester, NY. The event was at a garden convention and the theme was Drama in the Garden. It is a 12 inch single layer, 8 inch two layer tier, 6 inch 2 layer tier. I purchased four basic plastic masks, covered the basic face area with gumpaste, let it dry, took it off, then re-used the masks to create the crowns so each crown would correctly match the contour of its matching face. Painted crowns with luster dust mixed with lemon extract.
Great Cake :D
