Basketball Cake II

Having seen the Basketball Cake made earlier this year, a friend of a friend asked if I could make a similar cake for her husband’s 40^th Birthday.  

In addition to basketball, Edric is an active member of the local scouts.  So to reflect this I modelled the scout neckerchief and draped it on the board.   To personalise the cake further, I attempted to recreate the Birthday Boy’s own company logo in sugarpaste and placed it around the edges of the court as advertising hoarding. 

The cake was a big success so I was very happy.

Basketball Cake

A friend celebrated his 40^th birthday yesterday and I was asked to create the cake.   He plays and coaches basketball so the theme pretty much picked itself.

I decided a three layer 8” square cake would provide the right shape to reflect one half of a basketball court.   In order to give everyone a choice of flavours, I chose to sandwich two cakes together (vanilla jam sponge and chocolate sponge) before covering with sugar paste.

The cake was enjoyed by all, with just enough left over to have with a cup of tea today.
