This cake was ordered by my client for his wife's surprise 40th birthday party. We decided to incorporate her two loves (besides her husband of course) which are the band "Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers" and the musical "Phantom of the Opera." The top hat layer is butter yellow cake with milk chocolate buttercream covered with dark milk chocolate modeling clay. The band logo was painted on fondant with edible colors and the "40" was also created out of fondant. The bottom layer was also butter yellow cake with milk chocolate buttercream filling covered with fondant which was draped around to created the curtain effect of the stage. The Phantom mask was formed out of fondant.
