Micah has also been into soccer this Spring/Summer, which means I was required to make another soccer cake this year. He decided that he also wanted me to use frosting so that he could eat his cake without removing the fondant. I compromised with a little bit of each, but agreed to his number one request to have a trophy on the cake.
This cake was made at the cottage, which always means heat and humidity are going to be a stinker to work with. This time was no exception. While the cake baking was fine, the frosting was extremely soft and it was hard to keep it cold enough to stop the frosting or fondant from melting off the cake.
The main covering was the frosting, with a few fondant decorations to define the layers. The top was my ball shaped cake, with another attempt at using my new cookie cutters to make it look like a soccer ball. This attempt went a little smoother, but was still difficult to keep straight and squared up.
Ultimately, a lot of refrigeration kept this cake in good enough shape for the birthday "party" we had. He was happy to have both a soccer ball and a trophy, and everyone enjoyed eating the frosting over the fondant.
