I'm kind of a multi-role, I am the School Library Media Specialist, Tech person (I fix a LOT of broken Chromebook screens), and teach 2 art classes. The musical director has Study Hall duty in the Media Center with me every day and when I found out what they were doing, I was like "uhhh can I make you guys a cake I have an idea" lol.
It's big – the base is a 12 inch cake. I had to make a custom 16" cake drum (school art supplies shh don't tell anyone) because I wasn't about to spend $30 on a cake drum for a donation cake haha.
Head is made out of a hemisphere cake and covered in 50/50 modeling chocolate/fondant mix. I made a 3D printed mold for the base of the face and then sculpted out the details.
I only had about 5 mental breakdowns making this! (Tip, do not put ganache down first before adding a second tier. It SLIDES)
