Coming from St Helens, rugby cakes are always a popular choice. Our new, Saints Rugby League Stadium is due to open this month and you would have to be living in a hole not to feel the buzz in the town. In fact, the new stadium and a new footbridge that is being erected in the shape of a rugby ball nearly resulted in this cake not happening. Our only cake supplies shop is at the opposite end of town and is a pain to get to but sometimes needs must – and this was one of those times. The whole town was gridlocked last week as roads were closed for the new bridge – when you only have one car and 2 children needing to be at a party and 1 husband needing to be at work things get a little stressful. But anyway… the cake.
A sponge cake for a family I’ve done TONS of cakes for before. My brief was a rugby pitch and a man wearing a rugby shirt – Ta Da! I had to google what a rugby league pitch looked like – How did cake-makers survive before the internet??
Yummy looking cake! Now you are going to in recoil in horror at this, and it’s not even a scary Halloween ‘trick’ but I have not had an oven for 2 years now!
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
But I do love forward to dribbling down my chin looking at cakes 😉
Thanks for the Love Cookery Blogs mention 🙂
Annie!?! 2 years? How do you cope? 🙂
Have entered my autumnal walnut/maple cake (which you sadly missed out on sampling). Shame that! x
Mmm will check it out now – am still sad 2 weeks later that I missed out 🙁
Thank you so much for the lovely mention. I’m really touched xx
It was a lovely post. Lots of love to you x
