Football Shirt Tutorial

This is a tutorial I created for you all, on how to create a Football shirt shaped cake.

This is the shirt I created for a little boy obsessed with the Football club Arsenal.

1/ Firstly I started with a square sponge.  The size of the sponge will depend on how many cake portions you want to get from it.  I made a 10 inch square sponge.

I then created a 10 inch paper square, the same size as the cake to create a template.

2/ Next I measured a section for the width of the shirt I wanted. As you can see 18cm.

 3/ After that I carefully measured out two arms sections, from the remaining section as you can see in the pictures below.

 4/ Once the sections have been measured equally and cut out, it should look like this.

5/ Next is to cut out the second arm section from the sponge, using the template.

6/  The remaining sponge will need to be cut to size, using the second arm section you measured and cut earlier. 

7/  Then I placed it in position on the other side of the cake, and reversed the main template to cut it to the same size as the other arm section.

8/ All that's left is to fill, ice and decorate your sponge! Good luck, and if you create a cake using my tutorial I'd love to see a picture of the finished cake :o)
