I had a lady request a Phantom of the Opera Cake. Her only instructions were to include Red black Silver and white and incorporate / make a copy of the Mask.
3 Tier chocolate mudcake with dark chocolate buttercream, white/cream pettinice, edible icing in centre of ribbon with track 3 from Phantom of the opera printed on it. Icing roses and mask, with satin black ribbon trim and silver cachous.

Wow It might be worth considering marriage just to get a theme cake or maybe I better make it a birthday cake instead.
You are doing well with your theme cakes but was it really 2009 or should it be 2010.

Jean

Hi jean, thank you! Re year Yes this was last week so definately 2010 :-)
Kindest regards
Lisa

Lisa, it is fantastic!

I wish you had been around to make MY wedding cake. Mind you, come to think of it, you probably weren't even born then :-)

Margaret

We are doing a Valentines competition to win a decorated cake on facebook. <www.facebook.com/denheath>

It is just stunning Lisa, is the music on the ribbon from P O T O or just ribbon you bought as is? Whatever you certainly are very imaginative person & very talented.

Absolutely amazing Lisa, a real labour of love! Thought of you when I was in Taupo last week - saw your custard squares at Replete and a couple at the next table sharing one!! Looked delicious!!

Hi Lynn,
Thank you!
What I did was found an A4 sheet of music for Phantom Of the Opera (track 3) and took a copy of it. Then I have a printer which only has edible ink (food colouring). So I printed the music onto A4 Sheets of Edible icing, then I cut the music line out in strips, glued them with sugar glue to the centre around each tier. Then I measured black satin ribbon for above and below each strip and used sugar glue onto the cake. I have seen Phanton cakes made with a few notes hand piped onto the cake and I thought it would be much more meaningful for the couple to have the actual sheet music from the show :-) (rather than just random notes)
Thanks Anne!
So pleased i have my password reset for foodlovers I have really missed being here!!!

That's a very special cake Lisa. I would have it varnished and mummified inside and not let anybody go near it with a knife. If you inject it with some of Irene's lavender tincture that might stop the inside going off - just like they did in Egyptian times.

I have a whole jar of the bloody stuff if you want it Lisa Still havent' found out what it's for grrrrrr

You have amazing talent and produce amazing products Lisa...how could anyone bring themselves to cut into that cake???

Gail E

What an amazing cake,but saying that, your products are always fantastic no matter what it is.

Gail I have decided I must have some talent: I managed to burn one hand and cut my thumb right through the nail in a space of 10 minutes this morning> just not sure that type of talent will take me very far lol.
Kindest regards

Oh Lisa, I hope your injuries arn't going to put you out of action for too long! My stomach turned over when I read what you'd done....think I'd stick to wielding the icing gun if I were you!

Take care
Gail E

Hi LisaAmazing cake, well done.
I really like the idea about the music printed onto the icing.
Have fun
Ruth

Thanks for all your kind comments!
Gail thankfully I had 5 days away with Donald and the kids so my thumb has healed up nicely before coming back to work!!! I feel very refreshed and am looking forward to this week.

Oh Lisa, You excell yourself yet again. This is just lovely and I do hope the recipient was thrilled to bits.You haven't heard from me for a long time but do you remeber my Cafe Pronto in Levin?
I know the current owners do get your Delicious Custard Squares but I don't go in there at all now.
Love to you and Donals Susannah xx

Susannah ((((hugs)))) So lovely to see you here!!! I often wonder how you are!!! Thanks for your lovely comments on the cake. I haven't been decorating since about 12 weeks pregnant. I have lost my cake making mojo :-( Maybe its because he is a boy as I hate shopping at the moment. lol I do hope you are keeping well!!!
