Are you ready for some...Hockey?!

Wow. Procrastination is something, huh? A lot of posts to come really soon, but right now...
Max's Hockey Cake!!!!!
It was a four tier marble cake with fudge filling. The tiers were 14", 12", 10", and 8". The occasion was Max's Bar Mitzvah (congrats!!!).
Here is the topper of the cake, the NHL logo, but with "MHL" for "Max's Hockey League". Cute huh? Its made out of fondant. Thats right. FONDANT. Not gumpaste!!! My dad, (the super cool and reliable delivery guy/poppa bear) and I were praying to the cake gods that it would dry in time to stand on top.

The top tier represented a goalie net, where I made a little fondant figurine of Max himself, in full goalie gear! Sorry for the blurry picture. I was in a bit of a rush...
The second tier was representing the hockey "field" (?).

The third tier represented the audience in the bleachers! I made little 2d people wearing red, yellow, and black, the colors of Max's team, the Golden Wolves!

(Bonus points if you know who these four people are! ;-] )

Over all, it was definitely a challenge, but so much fun to make. It was the biggest cake I've ever made AND the fastest cake I've ever made. Usually I take 4-5 days for baking and decorating with up to a week in advance for figurines and toppers, but I did this entire cake (baking and all) between Friday night after work (7PMish?) to Sunday Morning (2AMish?). Super happy with the result, and I think Max (and Nanci!!) were too!

See you guys soon!
