Lockenwickler und Puschelhausschuhe: Theater Haberstedt

Theater Haberstedt is a LARP theatre group, which means that we play actors who play a play... Confusing? Well, it might be ;)

So, last weekend we were at one of those events again, but this time it was neither a aristocratic-political thing, nor a 'let's run around in the woods' thing, it was a 'having fun' thing. Some of my friends an me, we were there as said theatre group.

Beforehand, I was asked whether I wanted to make a cake for about 250 people. I agreed. So, I happened to make a 'Theater Haberstedt'-cake. All in all the cake made 233 portions plus lots of cake pops.

On the inside the cakes were basically the basic Peggy Porschen cake and butter cream or chocolate ganache.

The 12cm cakes were lemon cake with apricot jam and lemon butter cream, the 18cm cakes vanilla cake with orange flavoured chocolate ganache and apricot jam and the 24cm and 30cm ones were chocolate cake with vanilla butter cream and jam.

All in all there were nine 12cm cakes, five 18cm cakes, one 24cm cake, one 30cm cake, five lemon muffins and about 60 cake pops.

With the help of a faux bois structure foil the brown coloured fondant was turned into planks, so that they - hopefully - looked like a cheap stage. Some fondant became figures and masks that are attached to the planks and the muffins were topped with one larger and one smaller cake pop each, so that there were figures on four of the 12cm cakes as well. Each of the figures got a different hairstyle, so that one might compare them to some of the 'real' actors ;)

The rest of the nearly 10 kg of fondant was made into flowers, of which you can see looooads on the cake :)

But enough talking. Here are some pictures. Some more photos will follow when I get them.

Have a look at how creamy the dough looks like. I really loved the texture.
