It is my friend Emily's brother's birthday this weekend and so she and her mom asked me to bake a cake for him. They mentioned that he is a huge Jets fan so it seemed like doing a Jets helmet was the way to go!
I had SO much trouble making the mask, the one in the picture was effort number 4 (the first three broke). It ended up being gumpaste covered in fondant to make it thicker. I couldnt make it thicker in gumpaste because I was running out of time and it wouldn't have dried. I wasn't entirely pleased with how it turned out (I even bought a real one to try and use that but it was WAY too big)... But it was certainly a learning experience.

"Thursday Cake" - My First Attempt at Modeling Chocolate
I made a cake this past weekend for my friend Sydney's birthday, and as we were eating and celebrating, the girls commented that I should make cakes for every occasion we have. I mentioned that there are so many different techniques I want to try, and just need an excuse, so Emily suggested Thursday as the next occasion to celebrate... thus, "Thursday Cake" has been born... I decided to attempt something I have not yet tried to use... modeling chocolate. It turned out better than expected, but not as great as I hoped. Oh well, that is what practice is for.
And yes, I did eventually clean off the excess powdered sugar. :)
