We followed a tutorial to get the shape right which can be found here , however made up the rest as Australian footballs are a bit different to those in America. I have written up the recipe below, so if you ever feel daring enough, you can have a go too! Sorry about the dodgy pictures-some of them were taken at 11 o'clock at night, so the quality isn't great! Brush two square cake pans with the melted butter to lightly grease.
Line base and sides with non-stick baking paper. Place the self-raising flour, plain flour, sugar, butter, milk, eggs and vanilla essence in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric beater to beat on low speed for 30 seconds or until just combined. Increase the speed to high and beat for minutes or until the mixture is thick and all the butter is incorporated.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon. Bake cakes in preheated oven for around an hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and set aside for 10 minutes.
Turn onto a wire rack for 2 hours or until completely cool. Buttercream frosting Whilst this may seem to make a large quantity of frosting, this batch can be used to sandwich the two cakes together, cover the entire cake and make the green grass around the football.
Cream all ingredients in a mixer for 3 minutes until smooth. Spread buttercream icing in between the two layers of cake. Place the template on top of the cake. Place skewers through the top to ensure that the template stays in place.
Using the large knife, cut around the template, leaving a small space around the edge. This is just a backup in case you cut too much off! Using the paring knife, shape the cake to the size you are aiming for. It helps to follow the tutorial I provided above. You can always take cake off, but you cannot get it back! Place cake on foil board. Cover your carved cake in buttercream frosting. Make sure you make it as smooth as possible.
Roll out the fondant to around 5mm thick. How do I go about making a striped shirt? Ooooh that sounds like fun! I have tried to make striped shirts before by rolling two strips of sugarpaste together but the lines always go wonky. So I would actually cover the whole cake in one colour then cut strips in the other colour to add to the shirt afterwards. You can always carefully smooth the stripes but the more you touch them the more chance there is that they will move and not look straight.
Hi Emma! Thanks for all your help. I am a football jersey cake and it needs to feed 35 slices. I have gotten the Wilton shirt cake pan to bake it in. Having measured the pan size; it is roughly about;. Given these measurements; please if I did 3 layers of my cake recipe each layer bakes to about 1. Oh your comment did make me laugh! Sorry for the typo. I made this for a boys 6th birthday today.
Thank you for your guidance and pictures. I was very happy with the result and it looked really good. Please please can you help? I have to have it done in 2 days! Which colour? The light or dark blue? I would use a renshaw atlantic blue and either add white to make it the pale colour or black to make it the darker shade. Either way as long as you get it close the kid will still be thrilled with the result.
To make up your colour add a small amount of white or black at a time and really knead it in. Artificial light has caused me a few colour nightmares in the past. Hi, have a question for the square pan, you cut out a rectangle out of it and place one piece at the bottom, how did you made it fit? Thanks for your question. When you cut out the square you are essentially cutting off a length at the side to create one large rectangle cake and one long thin rectangle cake. You cut the long thin rectangle so that one section fits onto the bottom of the shirt on the large cake then use the off cut which you cut diagonally to make the sleeves — as seen in this template here.
Hi, thanks for taking the time to answer my question, the thin rectangle you cut out fits perfectly at the bottom? Once i cut that thin rectangle i have to cut from it the sleeves, so that thin rectangle is smaller now than the big cake rectangle, did you cut out the cake so that the thin rectangle fits?
If you have a square cake and you cut off a length you will have a small piece left over when you make the length of the shirt longer. Whatever you are left with is used to make the sleeve. Skip to Content Home Cake decorating How to make a football shirt cake template.
