A Very Sporty Birthday!

Growing up, I was quite the tomboy and into every sport imaginable.  I tried being a cheerleader, I even did ballet and loved it.  But, my true love was sports - softball, basketball, soccer, and even football.  I received a cake order by a little girl after my own heart...she didn't want a princess or a butterfly cake - she wanted a basketball and soccer themed cake!

I checked out a few designs, but I knew in my heart what I wanted to create for her.  A true fusion of soccer and basketball, mixing her two worlds into one cake!  I did a large sheet cake (vanilla) with home-made butter cream.  I made half the cake a soccer field, and the other half a basketball court and the two fields met in the center of the cake, where there was a half basketball/half soccer ball layered on top!  She was super excited for her cake and I was quite proud of how the two came together into one.  What do you think?!

Bake on!
