Prehistoric Hammers

Sports themed cakes are always the number one go-to for guys' birthday cakes. Or maybe I just know a lot of sporty people? Whatever it is, I've made so many soccer balls, basketballs, footballs, jerseys, you name it! They can get a bit repetitive after a while, but the fun part is always the team logo. And there's almost always a really fun team logo. But my question is, where do these logos come from!? I've replicated logos with babies, animals, and now, with what look like two prehistoric hammers... 

This yummy hockey jersey was a chocolate cake with mascarpone filling. Soooo good! 

Touchdown!

One of my latest cakes was for a super sports fan's birthday. His girlfriend had gotten him a Marques Colston New Orleans Saints jersey for his birthday, and wanted a cake to go along with the present. So for the topper, I made the football player as a sugar figurine. Around the four sides of the cake, she asked me to include other teams he's a fan of. Detroit Red Wings in hockey, Detroit Tigers in baseball, New York Knicks in basketball, and of course the Saints right in the front. 

Sporty Cake

A very confused mother approached me a few weeks ago, with no clue as to what kind of birthday cake to get for her 18-year-old son. After much brainstorming and many rejected suggestions, I was at a loss for the first time! I asked about everything from hobbies to color schemes, and got nada. Guys are always tougher, I guess... I finally found out that he's actually quite the sporty guy and plays both basketball and soccer. Birthday boy's brother came up with this design, and thank goodness for him, it all worked out in the end!
