Don't you just love those regular customers of yours? But at the same time, when making such a special cake, it kind of reminds you that another year has gone by.
Little Nelson is 6!!! I still remember the days when I was still studying and working casually and he was only a few months when he and Mon use to come into the store and visit... and even the time he spewed on my work shirt... time flies and I'm thankful to be a part of his life - even in cake form! :)
I had to get the special Wilton ball cake tins express shipped to me on Wednesday. Luckily, Australia Post was reliable this time! (Not so much in the past...).
And its pure chocolate inside. Chocolate Mud Cake with Whipped Ganache. Its sooooo good and chocolately!!!
Did you know that a real soccer ball has 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons? Think I was actually not too far from that figure and some excellent online blogger has already worked out the exact measurements for the shapes for me! (Thanks google and confessions of a cake addict!). The sides of each shape at 3.2 cm... and more "give or take" the lower on the ball you go...
I was actually most stressed about the cake ball not rolling around. It's not exactly flat... even with a little of the bottom shaved off. I'm hoping that all the fondant and ganache will keep everything in shape and intact before it is devoured! Enough for a few photos and for the kids to admire! ;)
