It has been a great start to the year 2014, where many orders have been coming in for Shi shi creations. My chocolate cake being the most sort after.
Most of the orders have been for the cake alone without any special decoration. Then came an order for a customised cake. As always the requests become more and more interesting.
This time the order was for a basketball jersey with a basketball on top. Easy it seemed, but my question was how was I going to get a miniture basketball model on top of a cake. So I went through my options, should I make another cake, or should I cover a plastic ball with fondant. Then, thanks to the many cake shows on television I decided to make the ball with rice treats.
For those who haven't heard about rice treats, it is cereal bars made combining sugar, butter and rice bubbles. Instead of sugar I decided to use marshmellows to combine the cereal together. It is the perfect solution to creating models which are edible.
For the Jersey, I baked a 4lb rectangle chocolate cake which I cut into the design of a Jersey. The cake was covered with chocolate ganache and then covered with vanilla fondant. The colors used on the Jersey (Blue, Yellow and White) are the colors of one of the big boy schools in Sri Lanka,
St Peters College.

Another successful cake and another happy customer...Thank you for ordering from Shi shi creations
