Cricket birthday cake
Baked for my cricket mad eldest son on his 8th birthday party. Three layer 20 inch chocolate fudge cake, filled with rich chocolate mousse. He asked for no icing around the cake as he doesn't like too much of it. So I left the cake 'open' and just decorated the top.
The cake
Mint green buttercream icing embellished with blue and yellow pearls.
Green piping on the top and bottom of the cake
Fondant cricket player with bat, ball and stumps
Happy birthday lettering decorated with coloured stars
Chocolate Mousse filling
The Cakeboard is covered in white fondant
I piped green buttercream frosting on the top of the cake to represent grass, and embellished the top with some tiny star sprinkles, this took a while, but looked great, The lettering below is hand cut in blue fondant and detailed with star sprinkles.
