Mardi Gras Masks & Harlequin Cake
Nobody around here really celebrates Mardi Gras, so I had to do a bit of research online for this Birthday Cake. I learned all about the King Cakes, beads and the 3 colours. (Makes me want to visit New Orleans next year!!)
I made the masks first out of gumpaste and detailed with tiny silver dragees. I used real ribbon for the masks.
Liked the idea of the harlequin pattern, so that was all done in fondant diamonds with larger silver dragees for detail. I copied the rope border from a cake found online.
Great Mardi Gras cake!! You got the colors perfect!! Come see us in Feb 06' & Let the Good Times Roll!!
nice! i like the colors, especially that shade of yellow!
Oh so pretty! You do such nice work. I always look forward to seeing your cakes. Mardi Gras is so much fun! I am doing my fair entry in this theme.
It is so pretty! What brand of coloring do you use to keep the purple from fading to light blue?
Americolor usually, but this was just a small amount, so it still worked with Cake Craft Super Violet.
great job!
beautiful!
great cake
I do live in Louisiana, and I don't know if anyone who could have topped this cake! Perfect!
