Mardis Gras Themed Birthday.

This was for my friend's granddaughter, who wanted a Mardi Gras birthday party. The kids dressed in costumes and masks. The cake is frosted in buttercream with fondant accents. The mask on top is gumpaste. Thanks for looking!

Thanks everyone! Yes, I used a real mask as a "form" to make the gumpaste mask. I added bought jewels and feathers as decoration.
