Yes! The cake made it to the table:) it was a chaotic comedy show getting it there; one which I will possibly elaborate more on later. For now, I'm okay with the results of my first attempt at decorating a cake with fondant. Being that I am your typical disaster waiting to happen, I can appreciate the value in learning what to not do next time, like don't use 'whipped' butter cream icing as the fondants 'glue', and also make sure you have enough fondant or know how to make more...Hence my mushy looking cake that was only two layers instead of three.
I am satisfied enough though, because I loved the robot head I made for the topper, and so did the kids. It took a while and some failed attempts to come up with a plan, but once the parts were all together, I realized it only cost me about twelve dollars for everything. I got the mask, clear bucket, mini lights, foam 'knobs', and candles at a craft store. I painted the mask and foam 'knob' ears silver (thanks, Honey:), cut the forehead off, hot glued it to the inside of the lid, and added a brain behind it out of a blinky Disney necklace and random springs from the garage. Voilà! It even blinked! (not noticeable in the pics, unfortunately). It actually looked pretty cool, thank goodness. The techno head was the talk of the party.
