this past weekend was one of the girls on my soccer team's birthday. so being the awesome coach i am (thats what they tell me)i made her a soccer ball cake. i have had this cake pan for over a year and for some reason never played with it. so syd actually got to be my guinea pig for this type of cake.
it turned out really cute, but was kind of hard. the directions said to use a thick cake so i used a pound cake mix and dyed it blue. the top part went pretty easy as i started the stars up at the top and did the first round....but the lines didnt line up quite right so i had to improvise some. then that threw off the next set of lines. but in the end it all worked out pretty good.....the hardest part was getting the bottom stars on. i could only get down so far before i had to move the cake over to board that i was going to take it on. and then i had to just try and get some icing on the bottom so you couldnt see some of the actual cake.
as i was playing around with the cake (which i finished after running the ford island 10k and before the girls game at 3) i was afraid that just the cake wasnt going to be enough to feed all of the girls so i had another idea for some cupcakes. i had seen this idea on the side of the cake box about a 6 months ago and never had a reason to make them....so i did. and they were so cute! although i couldnt find my super huge icing tip so they didnt turn out quite like i wanted, but still cute!
