We couldn't have been more pleased by how it turned out and Elias ADORED it. The cake was made by Sugar Lump Cakes here in Nashville. Then I used a sharpie paint pen to color the masks on the canisters. I spray painted the canisters with several coats of white paint, then used carbon paper to trace on the masks. I was so delighted by how they turned out.
