Coolest Girls Football Cake

I made this cake for a football-mad little girl’s eighth birthday party.

The round cake is chocolate fudge cake and the ball is plain all-in-one sponge cake filled with butter-cream. I covered the base with green fondant to look like a pitch (even though it turned out a little bit dark). Paige loves pink so instead of a black and white ball, I coated it with pink and white hexagons and pentagons.

The roses were simple to make. I just cut circles out of pink fondant and flattened the edges and layered them over each other, curling the edges slightly.

I cut the butterflies with butterfly cutters and laid them over a thin rolling pin to dry overnight. I added these to the cake, along with the rest of the flowers, to give it a girly look. I then brushed vodka over the whole cake before finishing it all off with pearl spray.

I was really pleased with the outcome of this Girls Football Cake and Paige loved her cake and didn’t want her mum to cut it.
