Steelers Helmet

Steelers Helmet on Cake Central

I've already shown a different helmet before, but since it is the Super Bowl today....The icing is buttercream and the face mask is gum paste.

For the large helmet, the top half is a dome pan and the bottom is 2 - 8" layers. The small helmet is 6" layers. The face mask is gum paste.

awsome!!!!!! go steelers... my question is if i do this how do you know what size of the gumpaste for the front of the helmet should be i'm afraid of making it to small or too big how did you know what was the righ size for the size of the helmet.. cause you need to let it dry right..

The gum paste for the large helmet was laid across a 1 1/2 gallon pitcher and reached down tho the countertop. The smaller one was laid over a can the size of a large formula can and it also reached down to the countertop. I do the mask a week in advance or longer so it will thoroughly dry.

I love this cake! My son wants a 3D hockey goalie mask cake for his birthday, and this cake gives me some inspriation. I'd love any advice if you have any more to share

I would suggest that you make sure you make the mask well in advance (at least 1 week) and that the "bars" are thick enough. The joints where the bars cross can be fragile.
