i used to make shaped birthday cakes for my kids when they were little. Usually i woukld make 2 cakes and one would get cut up to make the shape around the square one. draw a plan on paper and it should be easy to get the shirt shape. The icing in your picture appears to be rolledout. i haven't made that sort but you should be able to get a recipe online. I think ti si called fondant icing. It can be difficult to get strong colours so you may need to get proper icing colours from a specialty shop. The candles look interesting. I have never seen any like that!. The board would have green icing spread on it. Have fun! |

This link might help you
http://www.cakescookiesandcraftss...acatalog/Football_Party_Shop.html The candles are there, they even have a football shirt pan but sadly sold out. You could use a rectangular pan http://www.pastrywiz.com/dailyrecipes/recipes/665.htm scroll down and their is a diagram to show how to cut one out. Hope it all goes well. What a really nice thing to do. |

Thank you very much both of you! 
The shirt will be white, so the colour thing shouldn't be a major problem. Thanks again xxx |
