The latest celebration cake was for another G.A.A. mad youngster with a request for a very chocolatey chocolate cake! This time around, I went with a rectangular cake, finally using the new baking tins! This made the logistics of creating a pitch a lot easier than with a round cake! As with the last cake, the goal posts have to be the most challenging aspect! With skewers supporting the uprights, they held up well. The crossbars on the other hand were another story, needing some last minute improvisation! For the grass, this time I started with chocolate buttercream rather than vanilla. This gave a darker base colour to build up the green, creating a more grass-like green in the end. The cake was made with three layers of a fudgey chocolate cake, filled in between with a light chocolate buttercream. I also used the Funky Alphabet Tappits for the first time, on this cake and they worked out well! They are a bit fiddly to start with but a sewing needle is your best friend! A last addition to this cake was a couple of fondant scarves!
