weekend cake...

the dance company where my girls take classes had a Christmas ballet performance this week (the girls take Tap & Acro tho, so they didn't participate in this performance)...i made the cake for the reception following the show...the theme was "Let There Be Light" & another parent had drawn up a dancer design for the fliers...


i tried to match the design best i could...the girl on top is card stock, covered in gum paste (so not completely edible)...then i hand-painted the dancer image on with black food coloring paste

the cake is 3 tiers of fudge chip, iced in ivory butter cream...the stars are made from fondant/gum paste & dusted in edible gold dust (yellow stars) & white sparkle dust (black stars) - the picture really doesn't pick up the shimmer tho

the dance director was thrilled with how the cake turned out :0)
