I was recently asked to create a Monster High themed quarter sheet cake for a 5 yr olds birthday party. After researching what Monster High was, I knew I was going to incorporate the skull and the bright colors. The cake is a strawberry cake with a buttercream frosting. The black icing is embellished with black sanding sugar (only on the top) to make it more diva'ish. I then used a teal and hot pink buttercream to make the diamond pattern that goes with Monster High.
The skull is made of gum paste/fondant mixture. I made a template and used that to get the exact outline of the skull, eyes, and bow. I wanted to make the bow stand out a little more than normal so I used white fondant and covered it in pink sanding sugar instead of just pink fondant. I think it turned out great and the client (and the child) loved it!
