AFL

I know nothing about sports - absolutely nothing!

So when my sister-in-law told me that my gorgeous nephew was having an AFL inspired birthday party - I had to get a clue - fast!

After doing a quick google search I found out that AFL was in fact a team sport (you learn something new everyday!).  Even with my limited knowledge I knew that I had to get the right team, or this cake was going to be a flop!

So after a few text messages back and forth, we established that the Sydney Swans were the flavour of the month, and that a cake with the Sydney Swans colours was going to be a hit!

So taking inspiration from google images - I began the creation of the AFL cake

I had to make the cake topper and take it down on the plane to Adelaide with us.  This one, despite being quite flat and easy to transport, (unlike the last one!) was actually very brittle so there were some small breakages on the way down - but nothing a bit of icing couldn't fix!

Happy Birthday Oscar!
