I made this Sound of Music Cake for the closing night party of a production of The Sound of Music. It was a rich, chocolate cake with cream cheese icing. For the Maria figurine, I cut out a picture of Julie Andrews’ body and pasted on the face of the Maria from our cast. She is mounted on a toothpick and pushed in amongst the grass and mountains at an angle for a 3-D look.
She loved it, and later put a magnet on the back of the figurine to put on her refrigerator! The music notes are homemade chocolates.
i just wanted to say that your cake inspired me & i am so thankful i found it on the web. my daughter is turning 7 & wanted a sound of music-themed birthday party. so i pretty much copied your cake with a few modifications. thanks for posting it online! i would’ve had no idea how to do a sound of music cake if you hadn’t.
Hi, thanks for the wonderful idea, it was exactly what I was looking for. I will be uploading my version shortly!!
Happy Birthday Mollie!
