Today is my husband's birthday! He never tells me what he wants for gifts, but he always finds my cakes enjoyable. So I made him this cake highlighting his favorite sport.
The cricket pitch is trimmed layers of butter pecan cake with a chocolate whipped cream filling and topped with coconut whipped cream green grass. The cricket player I molded of white fondant, and the red cricket ball is your standard mall-candy-stand cherry gumball. Festive candles are on each side just like wickets on the playing field.
These are my batter's limbs, ready for assembly, and my photo reference of a cricket player in a batting pose.
Leveling the "playing field".
He enjoyed the concept so much, he said it was the best cake he ever had :).
And it was delicious too!
And now for a Young Me, Now Me moment:
This pre-teen-Raj photo inspired me to rekindle the receipt of his favorite birthday gift, and he loved it! I look forward to a fierce badminton one-on-one! Don't underestimate me!
