Fun Soccer Field Cake – Kid’s Birthday Cake Idea

It was a lot of fun making this Soccer Field Cake

The mom, Eleonora, gave me the goal nets and plastic players to use on the cake. I told her I would use the goals but wanted to improvise with the players. I looked at several black and white line drawings of sports figures. If I were to duplicate them they had to be drawn simple in nature, not too complicated or life-like especially since it would be small-scaled. It’s important to size the drawings to the scale of the soccer field and goal nets. For me, it was just eyeballing the best-sized players for my cake.

After tracing the players on thick white paper I used a double-sided blue and red paper with a toothpick and glue stick to mount them on. This double-sided paper worked perfectly because the opposite color showed from the back. The soccer ball is a cake ball covered in chocolate ganache, white fondant, with white hexagons and black pentagons. I used the Wilton 233 piping tip for the grass and the Wilton 352 for the long grass in the corners.
