As usual this time of year I get a lot of requests for NHL inspired cakes. A trendy cake design of late is the hockey jersey with the recipient’s name and age on the back.

Unfortunately you can’t see the front of the jersey as it is more of a 2D cake than a 3D cake so if you know your teams the colours should give it away. In this case I made a Habs jersey for a 10 year old nephew.

It is a 7-Up cake (yes, 7-Up was poured into the batter) with lemon meringue filling and lemon buttercream. The boy just loves lemon. Serves 18.

For relative size my 2 1/2 year old daughter is seeing it one last time before it heads back into the fridge.
