Masquerade Mask Molds
Sugar Work By RoseCitySugarcraft Updated 27 Oct 2010 , 5:24am by RoseCitySugarcraft
Greetings, fellow CCers!
I'm wondering if anyone out there can help me locate a life-size plain masquerade mask candy mold?
I've googled already, but can't find one the right size
Thanks much in advance for any help you can give me!

If you can't find a mold...I'd go to Michaels or other craft store...and they sell cheap plastic ones. I have used them for gumpaste masks...but you could also spread it in a few layers of chocolate until its thick enough...and then pipe decorations on it.
i would love to know how they do this with the mask, is there any photos on here that someone has used the plastic mask so i can get a idea what the cake looks like thank you
I used it for gumpaste, and I have one in my photos here:

My photo is not very good tho...
I used for this one a transparent mask I bought in Party City.

wow ladies your masks are great. whish we had classes here in nz but they do not teach anything like that, all the teach you is how to make a fruit cake and cover it in fondant and put roses on it, i hate fruit cake, so all my learning is just from the net i cannot even buy the dvds here in nz, how did yo do your masks i would like to know if you want to personal message me, thank you ladies
Thanks everyone!
I will try Michael's tomorrow. I may just switch to gumpaste after all!
This is for a Lady GaGa themed cake for my partner's niece in May, and she wants the mirrored mask from 'Poker Face' on top!
What have I gotten myself into???
P.S. Edna...I LOVE your mask! I saw it when you posted it to FB, and I want to try one someday!
Get a white plastic mask at craft store, roll out gumpaste and cover the mask...I cover the mask with plastic wrap first....then I cut out the eyes and trim around outside of the mask....I have two pics with masks I made....I paint on make up with color gels and use feathers to adorn it as well...

You can do fondant with lots of tylose so it gets harder. It's not as difficult!
Good luck!

That's what I do...CMC powder is my best friend! lol
Not being a fan of Lady Gaga, I sure hope I make my niece proud!
And if anyone can share your tips for the best advice for topsy-turvy cakes, don't hesitate to speak up, please! I will be doing more reading, and finding some guidance, and giving my first TT cake a try after thanksgiving.
