I've been asked to make a football shirt cake and I was wondering if anyone knew how to do the pattern on it?
Is it possible or should I just stick to flat blue? Also, anyone any ideas on what shades of blue they are (might as well ask while I'm here lol).
I suppose it's possible but probably very time consuming :( YOu would have to mark off each sq and carefully spatula the icing into the sq. Another idea that might work is to make the # of sqs you need in each shade on plastic wrap (or something), fz it then transfer it to the cake. I see that working a bit easier than the other way. All this is assuming you are working in buttercream. If you did it in fondant each sq would show a line. As for what color blue......looks to me like royal blue. I would make all the icing the darker shade, then add some white to lighten it up - but be careful not too much lightening :)
Thanks kakeladi, it's much appreciated and you've given me some good ideas to think about.
