Dave wanted cupcakes for Jack's bar mitzvah................I suggested a cupcake cake in the shape of a torah............and this is the result.
This 110 cupcake cake is half chocolate, half vanilla with vanilla icing. The star points, lettering, and small stars are done with vanilla sugar cookies iced in vanilla fondant. The scrolls are poster tubes covered in white paper and clear Contact paper, but the 4 handles are EDIBLE--sugar candy sticks covered in fondant and inserted into rice cereal disks coated in dark chocolate & fondant.
The torah was 28x28 and the entire display was 40x40 !!!
I guess it was a hit because Dave's already given me the heads up for the next 2 big events--Abe's bar mitzvah in 2015 and Liv's bat mitzvah in 2017!
