Football Shirt Cake

I did a football shirt cake for this Saturday just gone.

I presume that the customer was pleased with it, because I got a phonecall yesterday from someone who was at the party, requesting the same cake for her son's surprise 21st birthday party in November.

I did the football shirt ever so slightly differently from the last time. Last time, I did the name on the back with an edible print. This time, I did order an edible print with the name, but I forgot to put it on a red background. The letters were too small to cut around and it wouldn't hae looked right with a big white band on the cake, with the name on it. So I abandoned that and just did the name in white paste, using my letter cutters. They looked just fine! :o) I'm now looking for some large number cutters (I'll have to see how much detail cookie cutters have) for the number on the back! Then, I'll only need a very small edible print of the club logo. I could order 1 sheet with lots of small logos of different clubs! As long as they're kept cool and dry and out of direct sunlight, they keep and keep!

I've got a cake with lots of different models on it for this weekend - lots of the birthday boy's favourite things! Then I've got a 2 tier cake for Wednedsay (nice to have a mid-week cake for a change!).
