Because Paige is still our soccer loving kid, I needed to some up with something a bit more creative with my soccer cake for her birthday this year. Fortunately, she is signed up for a trip to Paris with her ODP team and that gave me my unique spin.
With little time on my hands due to Vacation Bible School again this year, I didn't attempt anything too new. I decided to decorate with fondant, and only struggled with how to get the soccer ball pieces to look right. Eventually I gave up and used the same shape for all of them instead of the two different shapes like in real life. Later, Brian informed me that it is impossible to make the actual shapes from the soccer ball work on a flat surface which is why I was so frustrated and had to alter my plan...wish he had been around when I was figuring that out for myself.
I must also confess to cheating on the logo as well. I purchased a sticker to use as the symbol because of the lack of time to make it myself, and the lack of food printing device (which I do hope to own someday). In the end it was still very sharp and I can add another variation of soccer cake to my list of achievements.
