I'm an opera singer by profession, so I made this cake for my Porgy and Bess castmates at NJ State Opera. It was my signature chocolate cake with buttercream icing, basketweave on the sides, edible icing photo and fondant sculpture representing themes from the opera, including Bess' red dress, Porgy's crutch, Serena's bible, picnic basket and baskets of crabs and strawberries, pot of honey, dice, packet of "happy dust" and stanza of music from the finale.
