For this week's class, we all brought already frosted cakes. After hearing about what some people did with their cakes from other classes, I decided to give it a go and frost the top a different colour from the sides. Since this cake was going to work again, and I didn't want them to get too bored with it, I added cocoa powder to make chocolate frosting after leaving enough aside for the top. It didn't turn out half bad. We learnt shell borders in class, and I used one to hide the seam between the white and chocolate frosting.The clowns themselves took a bit of doing. I had to scrape off and try again a couple of times. I kept making the bodies too skinny so they kept falling over. The heads are plastic, so the frosting has got to be able to support that weight.
Those are Dark M&M's glued to the side.
Update (9/24/2007): Apparently the heads were quite popular. All three of them were taken along with the cake.

I really like this one alot. The two-flavor frosting scheme is a nice touch. It's very festive, although clowns are scary. Even frosting clowns.
No argument from me there. I'm glad someone found the heads nice enough to take. I don't think I'll be making a clown cake again ever (^_^)
