For my birthday cake, I wanted it to represent both the masquerade and The Shining themes. I added the notorious phrase "redrum" in red lettering, sprinkles for confetti, and topped it off with some mini masks I made. Brian did the icing. It's not perfect, but then again we're mathematicians, not cake decorators and on the whole I'm pleased with the way it came out. If you're hosting a masquerade of your own, these mini masks make for excellent cake or cupcake toppers.
Materials:
*Cardstock in a variety of colors
*Scissors
*X-acto knife
*Pencil
*Toothpicks
*All purpose adhesive
*Rhinestones, stickers, and other embellishments
Directions:
*Shrink mask template to the desired size and cut out.
*Trace the mask template onto the cardstock and cut out.
*Glue the mini mask to a toothpick and let dry.
*Add embellishments. I used the eye hole cut outs for feathers, plus some rhinestones, beads, and stickers. Now they're ready for your next cake decorating endeavor.
