Football

I'll be the first to tell you that I'm not a football fan. I'll watch an occasional game, but I just don't really have any interest in professional sports. However, my neighbor loves the Houston Texans. She wanted a Texans cake for her birthday. There were several ideas kicked around like a football with the logo on it and maybe one or two more. In the end, I decided on simply doing the team logo.



The cake was white with a white butter cream layer and a fondant covering. The colors of the logo are fondant as well. There is an odd optical illusion in the picture where it looks like the blue hangs off the side of the cake. In person, it didn't, but whatever angle I took the picture at, it looked like this. Weird. I finally gave up and kept the picture. I ended up not charging her for the cake since she ordered it for herself and she's ordered several cakes for me.

The cake was a huge hit with the family. They had several of the extended families get together as a combined birthday party. There were three cakes at the party and mine went first. She said that the other cakes were barely touched even later in the party.
