So here is a huge cake we made for a Hollywood-themed Sweet 16 birthday party. The party was held at the Hippodrome Theater in Gainesville so the setting was perfect!
For the cake, they requested large film reels topped with a director's clapboard:
Around each of the film reels, we attached edible photos of the birthday girl from the first 16 years of her life. Her mom gave us school photos, prom photos, dance photos, simple everyday photos, etc. They were great!
The clapboard was made of cardboard and completely covered with fondant. Then, I hand-piped the letters using yellow royal icing.
I love this cake. It would have been better to wait until the Oscars, right? Hm, Oh well. I'm just not that patient...
I love this cake! What a great way to celebrate a Sweet 16.
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!
ReplyDeleteQuick question: what do you wrap around your cake bases? Is that like a food safe paper or something? And where do you get it? Thanks!
Lady Ashley, are you referring to the cake boards that the cakes sit on? They actually come like that, but you can also purchase additional paper if you want something other than white, silver, or gold. Here's the link for the cake drums on Country Kitchen's site: http://www.countrykitchensa.com/catalog/mini.aspx?ShopId=38&CatId=538&SubCatId=73 but you can also check your local cake supply shop. :)
ReplyDeleteGlorious work.It is important that for your Hollywood party theme, everything from the invitations, costumes, props, music, food and drink needs to be consistent with the theme.
