a sketch based on what used to be Grauman's Chinese theater.
edge of cake: hollywood sidewalk stars of fame.
one end, chinese gate (royal or fondant over lollipop sticks)
red carpet down middle
to either side of carpet...the footprint/handprint/name blocks in courtyard of theater.
other end, sheet cake cut and stacked to make small facade of theater (dowell it!). with fondant topper
images to help at: magazine USA.com
Do you want the "pretty" side of Hollywood or the
"not so pretty" side of Hollywood ?
Pretty side would be glamorous, a lot of bling-bling, make-up, very skinny, nice dresses etc....
Not so pretty side would be, divorce, anorexia, drugs, rehab and funny looking mog shots....
But really, who wants to put that on cake ? I would do , you know that black square thing that they hold open and close when shooting a scene ?
They open it when they say "action" ! and close when they say "cut" ?
I don't know the name of that thing. And maybe a long "negative" (Film plastic thing) that goes inside a camera that you bring for processing to the photo shop ? Just my ideas.. 
There's a cute movie cake in the gallery. Here's the link...

That is a cool link!
Any ideas on how those reels were made? Are they cookies that are painted or just print outs?
in the comments under her cake, boween says:
I used icing images that I found on the net, The stars, the film reels and the topper are images I put on a fondant gumpast mix, I cut them out and let them dry. The painting on the cake is done with gold dust and vodka mix, pretty simple and quick, that is why I use ising images sooooo much!
