Phantom of the Opera/New York cake

Image

My cousin turned 16 and her mom was taking her to New York City for the weekend to watch "The Phantom of the Opera". She asked me to do a cake that would be used to reveal the surprise. I made the mask out of fondant and covered the 2 tier chocolate pound cake with white fondant. I then used black fondant to make a cape to go down the back of the cake and to make beads to go around the top layer. I used it also to make a city scape of NYC to go around the bottom. I finished it off with a real red rose.

This was made with cutouts of the characters and ships that I laminated and were perfect to stand up in the cake.

I had a strange request. Someone was having a hysterectomy and wanted to celebrate, so here it is:

What to do with extra icing

When I have extra icing, I hate to throw it away. Most of the time, it's a little of this and a little of that, so it's crazy to save it. So, sometimes I let my kids decorate something for them. On this particular day, I drew the bear, and they filled it in. It was a good lesson for my 7, 5, and 3 year old on how to hold the bag so that icing didn't come out of the top. It was very memorable afternoon with my sweethearts!
