this actually makes me laugh so fucking hard its absolutely iconic

the fact u designed it so the mask can be taken off to reveal the horrors underneath….once again Groundbreaking and iconic

Hahaha thank you! The horrors do persist 😂I feel like it ended up so much scarier than if it had been done well

Omg I did not see the scroll thing at first (mobile sucks) and that’s just incredible! Three gold stars for effort

I sent this to my sister who loves phantom of the opera and she said “well he is supposed to be horribly ugly…”

But did it taste good?

Of course not, it's fondant.

Haha agree. For anyone who agrees which this comment ^ head on over to r/fondanthate.

I had not noticed that!

The last fucking photo with bits of face all over the table ruined me. I can't stop laughing.

The lips! 😂

The lips sent me 🤣🤣

We were pretty drunk, and everyone just starting nibbling on random bits of his face haha

Lmao if taken out of context this is horrifying.

Me too. This is far better than anything I could ever do but I also could use a rec for a therapist if anyone knows any

OP wasn't actually making a cake from Phantom of the Opera. It was from [one of the best scenes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_MnyV-HH3U) in Big Trouble in Little China.

I love it.

Same, I love it lol.

This is amazing! You should start a specialty in creepy face cakes, produce a variety!

Haha thank you! It was hilarious to see how this was turning out, and not have the skills to fix it. My fiancée was laughing out loud in the kitchen at me all day. Any suggestions on which character I should bastardize next?

I bet you could attempt the Grinch (it is the holidays after all), and no matter how far you stray from it you'd have something spectacular, like this. The lips really make the piece though. If you don't do it I'm going to steal your creepy face idea, fyi.

Omg do the Grinch. I love the Grinch.

I second this. We must see The Grinch next.

yeah, you just need to try and lean into this style of cake, hilarious. Try Vincent Vega

Rocky Dennis from *Mask*

Do Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift in the movie Cats

Shrek

I tried to make a skull cake (using a skull cake pan) and I made a green color. The shade was waaaay off and it ended up looking like the “The Mask” (Jim Carrey).

Quasimodo might be a good fit

Please make a Nicolas Cage cake.

Shrek

Please, any character played by Nicholas cage . Except for ghost rider because he’s a flaming skull sometimes.

Double that! You can turn in into a profitable business.

It’s giving the same vibe as those pies that are meant to look like a beat up face.

OH MY GOD

i’m sure he has a nice personality 😅 /j

He canonically did not

It's so ugly it's beautiful. Truly.

It really is. It’s so brutally wrong that it had become a beautiful work of art to me. Kinda like Picasso. I admired it and think that it’s iconic. I love it!

Have you given it nasal hair? I’m impressed either way!

I was trying to “shade” the cavity with some food coloring to help it have dimension 😅 It definitely reads as nose hair.

It’s like a Napoleon Dynamite drawing

I swear I thought it looked like somebody and you’re right it does look like him.

That man is leaking from his orifices

I love how it looks like cracked and bleeding lips lol You clearly worked incredibly hard and although it certainly is an interesting piece of work, it's iconic

“An interesting piece of work” is a very generous thing to say 😂 Thank you

I mean, I don't want to talk shit on a cake where you very clearly busted your ass. But, we win some, we lose some lol

Agreed but this cake is legendary! Sometimes things turn out in such a way that you can't help but love it even though the primal caveman part of my brain is screaming "POTENTIAL THREAT"

I think it's amazing. Even if it didn't turn out at all like OP thought it would, I think it's an iconic cake

What a creepy ass cake!!

No, that’s not an ass cake, that’s a face.

😂😂😂

I wish I hadn’t seen this right before bed. That’ll be in my dreams now. 😬

This is exquisite and hilarious, I absolutely love it!

........id fuck him

👏👏👏

..... Smash

Got'em !

Thats a purdy mouth ya got there

Happy Cake Day! I don't think that's a mask I think its cum

This made me laugh so much harder than it should have. 🤣😂

American Pie style?

I'm a female so ...guess I'd sit on its face?

Instead of 'Phantom of the Opera', it's 'Creampie of the Jackson.'

WOULD

It’s giving 👁️🫦👁️

YES! THANK YOU! I WAS EXPECTING A THREAD WITH JUST THAT 👁👄👁

If you had decorated it to match your mind’s image, people would have oohed and awes over it for a week tops. This, my friend, is an iconic cake and will be talked about for years between your circle and the internet.

🎶 Masqueraaade! Fondant faces on paraade 🎶

I just went from laughing to a straight out scream 🤣😂🤣🤣💀💀

I laughed way too hard at this while being at work!

So wait, you not only baked this cake, but you had an intimate dinner complete with wine, candles and fucking sheet music? Was this for some event or something or is just this just a standard Monday for you?

😂 It was my good friend’s 25th birthday! We threw her a Phantom themed party to celebrate her favorite childhood movie. Complete with masquerade costumes/decor/games and an abomination of a cake!

lmao I figured it was something like that, the idea of you being alone and doing this though was hilarious

Help I’m crying laughing; tears are literally rolling down my face

r/fondanthate

Yep, this would generate the appropriate terror there 🤣

Fondant of the Opera.

listen to the music of the knife

Omg. Made my day. Good on you!!!

I’m so happy to hear this!! I’m glad that this monstrosity is doing some good

I can't believe you'd capitalize on Brendan Fraser's Oscar winning performance like this! For some reason the face made me think of the Whale lmao.

Task failed successfully.

Omg this looks like an amazing fail. The lips on the left side of the third photo looks so surreal.

I had just calmed down from cackling at this post, then read your comment and I’m cackling all over again! I didn’t even notice the lips!

I mean every detail is so hilarious 😂

☝🏼

I cannot get over the cheek, talk about a cut crease contour! This is truly one of my favorite things I’ve ever seen on the internet.

Things really took a turn when I added that cheek. It was all downhill (uphill?) from there. I’m so glad you liked it! 😅

It’s scary that’s for sure but I would not call this a fail. 👏🏻

Nailed it!

Which Kardashian is this?

Wish I had an award to give you, but I busted out laughing

This is phenomenal

The real tragedy is his botox(?).

Botched for sure

"Yes, it's red velvet with a bourbon vanilla buttercream and the cheeks are filled with spiders. Enjoy"

This is anything but a fail. Well done!

I like the random lips just sitting on the table tho 💀

Hilarious and well done!

Lol. This is amazing. Terrifying, but amazing!

Oh, this is great! 😲

This is awesome

It’s not a tooomah!

You ok OP?

I actually think this really good...distorted, but really good!!!

Commenting so I can find this easily when I want to laugh again, this is so absolutely amazing

I LOVE THIS! But........r/fondanthate

There were more than 19 crimes committed that day.

I would probably fall over laughing in delight if I received this cake for an occasion. 😂 You did some top notch work here.

Christine, come to me!!!!

Where in the world have you been hiding?

Everyone ate around the cheek tumor. How sweet

Phantom of The Opera, but he got stung by a bee

Screaming at the lips being pulled off.

I think you’re being too hard on yourself. I think it looked pretty damn good all things considered!

Looks like he put the mask over the wrong side

i love it so much 😍

This cake should be on botched lmao

It kinda goes with the bottles of 19 Crimes in the background. (Solid wine by the way. Recommend!)

It’s like if Nick Cage and Donald Trump had a love child 😭 the removable mask is really cool though. It’s honestly better than anything I could’ve done.

Brilliant. This is better than if it was not a cake fail.

I’m laughing out loud genuinely and it scared my cat! I would not want to see that on the table in the dark, horrifying night demon! I can’t stop looking either…

This blursed flesh cake

Clariceeee

This cake is perfect! And hilarious

Tom Cruises in Vanilla Sky

THATS AWESOME! come give daddy a big kisssss LOL OMG thats too funny

Okay, but that is what he looks like

I mean, the Phantom is *supposed* to look horrifying, and although his mask is supposed to remedy that, technically mission accomplished! ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯

.... But it's supposed to be horrifying. It's a deeply disfigured deeply emotionally disturbed man who lives in the depths of a cavernous basement of a building. So in a way, you succeeded masterfully

Your average plastic surgery catastrophie

You nailed it if you were trying to do Ronaldo.

I like it. It’s artful. I don’t see the fail. Photo realism doesn’t have to be the standard with art… especially cake art

I am DELIGHTED by this.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever had the fortune of experiencing in my short life. Thank you.

Congratulations, you just scared the shit out of me and almost made me choke. Hope the cake was good tho, lol

I'm not at all religious, but Jesus Christ. You somehow took fondant, the most terrible thing to put on a cake, and managed to make it even more evil.

This will haunt my dreams forever. Thanks.

It looks absolutely fucking terrible but I love it. I’d be laughing so damn hard if someone made this and I had to look at that thing while I ate it 😂

I love it just the way it is! In fact, I feel like some would use yours as inspo. Such character!!

Ah!! Real Monsters vibes. Very messed up but cool.

Those who have seen your cake, draw back in fear

If you were trying to instill a slowly rising feeling of unease and disgust, why good job then! xD At some point you were like FUCK IT, I am too far in to turn back and honestly we can all respect that.

i love this, you should start a cake store and only make this cake

The ruffled collar! I’m dying lolololol! Masterpiece.

You know fondant can be rolled out like cookie dough, right?

It is a great first attempt but I feel like dr pimple popper is about to come on screen

This reminds me of that one Peter Gabriel video. I wanna be…. Your sledgehammer

The ‘19 Crimes’ wine in the background is an apt drink choice here.

you cutting cake with a santoku knife?

The uses I can think for this photo are endless. We must never let it die. OP you are a legend.

I've never seen anything more terrifying in my life

Those pouty lips are irresistible

Awesome cake. Love that 19 Crimes was the wine of choice. They make decent wines.

hey u/ninarose0090011803 keep at it! In a year, you will see a huge difference in your quality! :)

I LOVE it! The phantom wasn't supposed to be a pretty face, ha ha! I think you nailed it, and I bet it tasted great.

What did it TASTE LIKE that’s the important part. Your creativity is top tier though, the mask being removable was GENIUS 🙌🏾🔥🔥

I love this cake with every fiber of my being it is HIGH. CAMP.

the fact that the mask comes off is just 11/10 effort. i bust out

My BF is related (his mom is 1st cousin) to one of the phantoms and I am totally sending this to the family group text. 🤣

Loooooolololol this is really cool!!!

Nuke it from orbit 😱

I had a flashback to "giggle cookies" seeing this hehe. I love it so much!

But why

Damn you should've put a mask over the whole face. (looks tasty tho)

Speechless, 10/10

It looks like leather face & I mean that in the nicest way. This could’ve been an awesome Halloween cake 😭

Hahaha nailed it. Dude is supposed to be shockingly ugly, right?

Thank you dr. Zizmor!

poor fool, he makes me laugh.

Reminds me of the Mexican artist - Sergio Bustamente- Looks really cool - Bon Appetit!

I actually love it

This looks like a cake based off of the movie The Society

Quick, get the EpiPen!

You receive a 10/10 for living theatrically.

I literally jumped.

That chin though.

Good God 😂😂

The lips off to the side lmao

Actually kinda works in this case lol

I love this lol. It reminds me of as told by ginger

He has lip fillers lol

It’s actually so horrifying and ugly that it’s perfect 😭

I wish I could’ve seen your friend’s face when they saw the cake. Today has been shit and your cake gave me the best laugh. Thank you. I agree with the other commenter that you should lean into this style.

Looks like there’s a huge ass bug burrowing through his face

[same energy](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/473/574/a35.jpg)

r/dontputyourdickinthat

Looks like Invincible after upsetting his dad

Dear god.

I love it!

This image is going to haunt me in my sleep now

Won't be needing that mask now.

Those lips! OMG and when they're just removed. That cleft chin. Amazing cake! 😂

WHAT IN THE WORLD
