If you’re looking for a homemade birthday gift for the cricket lover in your life, why not whip them up a delicious and beautiful birthday cake based on their favorite sport? Here are some tips that can help you ace a perfect cricket-themed cake.
Start with a flat, green icing or fondant sheet base to resemble a cricket pitch. You can pipe in extra details with green icing for a more realistic feel.
You can’t have a cricket game without stumps and wickets. Craft them from edible materials, such as fondant or gum paste and place them on the field.
Top the cake with edible cricket bats and balls made from colored fondant with extra details made with edible food coloring for simple additions.
Personalize the cake by replicating a cricket jersey design using coloured fondant. Add the recipient's name and a jersey number for a special touch.
Include edible silhouettes of cricket players in action which can be printed out and traced onto black fondant for accuracy.
Create your favorite team by icing cupcakes in the team colors and adding each player's jersey number to the top.
