Up the Dubs!!!

Dublin GAA Jersey cake.

Was asked to make this cake last week and couldn't wait to get started! It was to be given to members of the Dublin GAA  team as a thank you for their work in the Easter camp. I made it from vanilla sponge using two square tins a 12 x 12 inch tin and a 8 x 8 inch tin. The main part of the cake was made using the bigger size cake after trimming the outside edges and cutting the v at the top. The sleeves I cut from the smaller cake and attached them using buttercream. I coated the cake in a thick layer of buttercream before putting the fondant on the cake. I painted the GAA and O'NEILLS on using coloured royal icing and made the crest and THANK YOU from fondant. I attached the details with water and a thin brush. Also the board that it is on is 14 x 14 inches.

All wrapped up and ready to go.
