This is a Liverpool FC-themed chiffon cake for my friend's hubby who is a Liverpool fan! The colour theme is hence green and red like the club logo and decorated with a football on a green field with a Liverpool red scarf :).
I wasn't confident with painting balls so I decided to cut hexagons and pentagons from layer vanilla chiffon cakes (black and white) and paste it on a ball vanilla chiffon cake after studying how the footballs looked (using melted marshmallows). The scarf was also cut from a swissroll-type layer chiffon cake, with tapering at the ends.
The green base is pandan chiffon cake similar to Olaf pandan chiffon cake (scroll to the bottom). I tried Bake King pandan paste this time (in addition to fresh pandan juice) and found the green colour a lot brighter than the Redman brand.
Thank God my friend shared her nieces and nephew all loved the cake!
Happy blessed birthday to Roy!
With love,
Susanne
Dear Susanne,
ReplyDeleteI chanced upon your blog while searching for a healthier alternative for fondant. I usually bake simple birthday cakes for my grandchildren. I am now so inspired to bake healthier chiffon cakes for them and will buy your books to learn and experiment. Thank you for sharing! Phil
