I decided to make my own birthday cake so I could try out the fault line cake plus I always wanted to make a Mardi Gras cake. I put the parchment paper on the top & bottom, put the cake plate on a cookie sheet & start pressing the sprinkles by small handful after handful. I used a gold sprinkle mix & added other green & purple sprinkles & the crowns. I messed up a bit by putting too much icing. I usually don’t make buttercream cakes but I would try this again using the Wilton youtube technique next time with the smaller round tip versus the icing tip. I made the mask with a cake lace mold & then added a lime green fondant in the back. FYI, once the lace was done, I laid the mask on the fondant & trimmed & then rested it on a dollar store mask covered in plastic wrap. I supported it with gold gum balls with piping gel. My friend was in a tizzy that I was making my own cake. She said I’ll buy you one! I said no, I’m having fun doing this! Yellow cake with lemon filling & fudge icing. YUM!! Happy Birthday to me!
