Let Them Eat Cake Competition

I was lucky enough to be able to compete in a local wedding cake competition. The theme was "Historical Romances- Love Throughout the Ages" We decided to go with a Phantom of the Opera Theme

There are a few different techniques involved in this cake including; pulled sugar (candel flames), poured sugar (chandelier), and some pleating for the stage.

The topper was composed of some of the more symbolic elements of the play (or in my case the movie). The famous mask was made out of gumpaste. The rose tied with a black ribbon was also made out of gumpaste. And the letter (barely shown) was made of gumpaste with a sculpted seal.

My partner Vanessa Rosado and I standing proud next to our masterpiece!

....Unfortunately we did not win = /. But i wouldn't trade the experience for anything, and this definitely will not be the last competition you guys see me in!

~'Till next time...

Sincerely yours,

~O.G.
