Received another cake order for a make colleague at work and this time it is football themed - Tottenham Hotspur.
The team logo is not overly complicated but it has many narrow and very detailed bits and is therefore very hard to replicate using sugar paste. Was very tempted to get ready-made cake topper to save some time but ran out of time to get it in time for the due date. It took me at least two hours to create the logo - lots of moulding and moving really tiny bits of sugar paste in place and lots of throwing ruined sugar paste away and remaking them.
This tiny logo is no bigger than the length of my palm - so much effort so little result.
Cake baking (carrot cake with cream cheese icing) was rather easy compared to making the logo. I love making non-pipeable cream cheese icing as they have less amount of icing sugar which means the sourness of the cream cheese is still very much retained and the icing tastes sooooo good!
Final result - must get a better alphabet mould
The birthday boy liked his cake very much and thanked me in person. I was simply glad that the logo was recognisable to everyone and approved by the birthday boy himself.
