Last month I made these cake for my grandpas 80th Birthday!
Unless you can’t tell he’s really into his rugby 😂
The 6” round cake was a lime and coconut cake (which I know is one of his favourite cakes), filled with homemade lime curd and lime butter icing. Finished with a white chocolate ganache drip.
The 8 and 0 cakes were both a chocolate Guinness cake with vanilla butter icing.
I decorated these with a large grass nozzle, finished with homemade fudge (salted caramel and Guinness, there is a theme here), rugby ball shaped macarons, fondant rugby balls (each had a name that he’s known by “Brian”, “Dad”, “Gramps”, “Papa” and his age). Finally I finished off the cake with a fondant model of my grandpa wearing his kit, holding a rugby ball and a pint of next to him.
I loved how both cakes turned out, despite my dislike of fondant and model making I love how it all turned out.
