My Finest Creation

Image
I made this. :) Its the biggest cake I've ever made. But its also the most elaborate. I'm the Laurals advisor for my ward and the resident Prissiest-Person-Anyone-Knows (not exactly sure how that happened), so when the YW Presidency decided to host an Oscar Night themed party, I was enlisted for hair, makeup, wardrobe, and cake. I did hair on anyone who wanted it (2 other leaders were doing hair too, but mostly curling, and sending them to my chair for styling), makeup to anyone who wanted it, and no one ended up needing any of my formalwear, but I came through with the cake. Stars were the main decorative theme for the night, and the colors were black, white, gold and silver, So I used that and the invitation, which had swirls of the four colors, as my inspiration. I also googled "Old Hollywood Glamour" and a cake came up. This one. So I did my usual chocolate and lemon cakes, chocolate for top and bottom, and lemon in the middle, and did cheesecake flavored pudding ...
