High School Musical

This one is for another swimming party. They were really into High School Musical at the time. I think it may have been a little while after 3 came out, but the memory is a little fuzzy on that specific detail.

I was not about to do the full image of all the kids from the movie, so I settles on the silhouette. The silhouette is a buttercream transfer that was kind of tricky. The hands wanted to break off as I tried to remove the plastic from the image. Normally when I do those, I'm pressing the image into more buttercream and the entire thing sticks pretty well. In this case, I was trying to get it to stick to fondant, which it doesn't really want to do until the image thaws out. It was a bit of challenge and I had to do a few repairs, but it looked fine. Fondant is a natural pick to get the curtain effect on the sides. By bunching it up a bit, the effect is easy. It's almost like working with real fabric if you make it thin enough.
