Hey everyone,

so I'm in culinary school for Baking and Pastry, and I am now currently taking my cake decorating classes.

One of my assignments is to make a Themed Birthday cake, and I immediately wanted to do a cake of a show.

Thing is, I wasn't really into musicals as a child, but I do know many of you were, so here's my question.

What was your favorite musical as a child?

Also, I have to do a wedding cake and I was thinking something along the lines of Day and Night.

A Little Night Music on one side, and then something about day, but I can't think of a thing. haha Any Suggestions?

Anyways I hope you guys can help me out on choosing which shows to base my cakes around.

Thanks!
Azuah

If it's a wedding cake, don't you think you should make it about love? Not Broadway?

well yeah, of course, I'm gonna try to figure out a way to play it that way.

Essentially, it's what the "couple" wants, and my imaginary couple are huge MT fans. haha

Some of my favorite Broadway shows I saw when I was younger were The Secret Garden, Cats, and Beauty and the Beast.

Peter Pan????

I like the 'day and night' idea for the wedding cake: would be beautiful for a black and white wedding!

For the "day" side of the cake: On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.

Well, if you're going to do "A Little Night Music" on one side you could do "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" or "Annie" ("The Sun'll Come Out Tomorrow") on the other.

I know this is kinda out of left field but I'm watching these wedding shows and I had a thought. How about doing a wedding cake based on a particular scene in a show? Such as, perhaps, the ball scene in My Fair Lady. I keep thinking about the dress Audrey Hepburn wore in the film and how it could be translated into a cake.

When I was little I loved The Music Man. And Sound of Music. But no clue how you could construct a cake around those lol.

SOUND OF MUSIC and GREASE were my favorite Broadway musicals growing up (because of their respective movies).

RENT and Spring Awakening and Wicked are my favroites1. I think an Into the Woods cake would be cool. Good Luck!

How about doing something using "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler as your theme? You can get the Day and Night and the show concept all at once...

Beauty and The Beast was one of my favorites, and you can tie love in.
