I am a hobby baker (I guess that's what you'd call it, having just finished the basic class yesterday). I am going to make an Elvis cake for my neighbor. I have silhouettes of Elvis's head, and black sugar paper. I thought about doing a cascade of music notes.
I am probably going to use a square 10 x 3 if I can find the pan, and will run to the decorating shop this weekend. On top of the square pan, I'll use either and 8 x 3 or 7 x 3. I own an 8 x 2, and 6 x 2 so maybe I should go for a 10 x 2 instead. Whichever. On the cake, I am thinking of smaller music notes, cascading from a sugar paper 45rpm with Happy Birthday printed where the A side label is, on a blue royal icing record label.
It will be done in white BC and I'll have to buy real clear vanilla, and undyed butter, or white spray by Wilton's. I like the fondant ball boarders, but might put black BC dots around the boarder. How is a good way to do the small music notes? Can sugar paper use a scrap book punch of music notes, or should i use fondant and cookie cutters? I had an idea of 3 d music notes, coming out of the cake, and down to the last layer...me and my ideas.....
I made some by just rolling a small ball of fondant, then pinching and rolling out a tail. Then I just bent it into a music note. That way they were more 3D and you can make them any size you want. Here is a link to the cake I am talking about. HTH

First Immpressions has molds for music notes (not sure if you have time to order)

Global sugar art has a nice music not set. I used them on this cake...

I used the petal craft pans to get my topsy turvy. I hate carving.
