Cake Poppin Soccer Field

Over three class periods my classmates Sydney Day, Sean Looney, and I constructed an accurate representation of a soccer field. And the best part? it's cake! On the first day, we made the cake batter and the frosting. Our cake was flavored vanilla and the frosting was buttercream. On the second day, we put our cakes into the oven and colored the frosting from the day before. It was split into predominantly green followed by white and then black. Then after that, we took our cakes out for them to cool. On the last day, we cut the cake into the appropriate dimensions and used the rest for the cake balls. After we frosted the cake balls and the cake appropriately and it was all ready.

Overall my groupmates and I did an excellent job. Astetiaklly the cake was beautiful and we also received some good reviews from staff and students around Wachusett. However, our cake was dense. This is believed to be because of the lack of eggs available to us at the time. With all ingredients, the cake would come out with no problems and would be superb. Would recommend it to anyone who loves soccer and cake!
