Soccer cake

Cake I did for H's soccer wind-up party.



The ball was a plain chocolate cake; the bottom 1/4 sheet was a yellow with a vanilla pudding filling. It really needed a different flavor filling, but I HAD planned to do chocolate on the bottom and yellow for the ball. Of course, a certain 6yo had other ideas.....

One of the things I always get a kick out of is when people want to know where I got the cake from. When I tell them I made it, they seem so amazed. Ah, if only they knew how relatively easy cake decorating is. Don't get me wrong, it's not super easy right off the bat - but once you get the basics down, there's not much to it. Honestly, I think the hardest thing I had to overcome was believing in my own creativity!!
