Birthday Cake

This is the cake that i made for my son's 7th birthday.  As he loves watching and playing football, I decided to bake a simple cake with added a pic of his favourite football club.  Since this is my first try making FBCT (frozen buttercream transfer), i did not do well making out the pic.   The mixing of colouring to buttercream are not well blended and it didnt turn out the colours that what i want. Sigh....

But i'm glad the frozen buttercream turned out just ok.

A pity after i brought the cake to my mum house, the buttercream melt and a lot of drops around the pic...Haiz... But glad the children enjoyed it!

Happy 7th Birthday, my dear son.
