Once Upon a Mattress Cast & Crew Cake
For the last performance of the play Once Upon a Mattress, the Ridgefield High School drama teacher ordered a sheet cake. Unable to leave well enough alone I had to make the twenty mattresses and put the name of every single person involved in the play on it too.
Twenty Mattresses
For the twenty mattresses I made a batch of crisped rice cereal treats, cut and shaped it into a tall rectangle, frosted it and covered it with fondant. I then impressed the details and painted each mattress with food coloring.
Pillows and Blanket
I impressed the blanket and covered it with a pink pearl dust to make it stand out and be all shimmery. I also painted the pillows to match one of the sections of mattresses.
Border and Front
I piped green dots for the border to resemble peas... the famed object beneath the twenty mattresses that caused the princess to be unable to sleep, thus, proving she is a true princess.
