Happy 11th Birthday Keegan

Keegan's Hockey hero is Sidney Crosby and for the months leading up to his birthday I have been trying to figure out what kind of cake to make him & how to incorporate Crosby into it. I stumbled upon some pictures of a cake that looks like the back of a jersey~and "ta da" I had found it!

I tried my best to make it a surprise for him, he knew what I was planning to do and (of course) approved of it. He saw the cake covered in black fondant and saw me working on the sleeves but thats all, I waited until he went to school to finish it off. Next time I make it I am going to attach the sleeves before I leave it for any length of time since it was too firm to drape just right. Still looked great though but I'm curious to see how it will change when I do the sleeves different next time. I know it probably won't be long--I'm sure Wyatt will have me doing up Jarome Iginla's or Roberto Luongo's jersey for his birthday :)

When he came home from school he came over to see the finished product and he was so happy with it, just fills my heart when I can do something that makes them that happy! When the family came over for dinner that night they were all impressed with the cake, and the more I looked at it the more I liked it; I almost hated to cut into it!!

Happy Birthday my son, you make me so proud everyday xoxoxo
