He's an avid Liverpool fan. Naturally, it would be nice if it's a Liverpool cake. I thought of an edible image of Liverpool logo but that would be too hard to find. Then, I thought and thought, why not a football cake? Thankfully the mom ok-ed it! Nowadays, kids are just so fortunate to have moms who go all out to fulfil their birthday wish! Party, presents and a customized cake! I probably could still count the birthday cakes I have had in my youth with my fingers. Oh yes. I remembered those 8" round vanilla cake with your name spelled out in red buttercream.
Where was I?
Oh.
As simple as it sounds, first of, I gotta find myself the football design..you know...the pentagonal / hexagonal design...so that your football cake has some remote resemblance to uh.. a football. As usual, the internet provided the design. I really heart the internet!
It's gonna be a moist chocolate cake filled with fudgy chocolate ganache covered in chocolate buttercream. That boy is very into chocolate. A chocolate loving boy!
Here's the cake. Looking really moist ya? I really wanted it to dome. Football.. get it? Round? So what if I didn't get the perfect round top!? Life must go on, I know....
Bring on that luscious, fudgy chocolate ganache. A potent thin layer will do. A little of this will kill. No need to go overboard.
Next up, chocolate buttercream. To complete the climax.
This look like a giant chocolate macaron. hahha!
Unfortunately, the shiny bald head has to go.. to give roundness to the shape. It's football cake remember?!
Although totally unrelated, but this is relevant to the progress. Sushi - to refresh and energize. Everyone should have this in the midst of a crucial job. Go on...try it! You'll thank me.
Back to serious business. Covering whole cake with buttercream. Dark chocolate buttercream for the dark patch and white chocolate buttercream for the white patch. Sinful, yes?
Somehow weird lighting plays trick on this pix. The chocolate buttercream seems grey?
Next. Piped green grass. Throw in some flowers to the mix. It completes me. A garden.
The name to be propped up. High and mighty, yes?
The almost there cake..
A Liverpool boy must have something Liverpool. It completes him. Do I sound like I am in the business to complete people?!
There. The complete me-completes him cake.
What about you?
