Toronto Maple Leafs Cake

by Gail Taylor
(Halifax, Nova Scotia)

This was made from 2 - 9" chocolate rounds, filled with chocolate butter cream. The cake is covered and decorated with fondant in white and royal blue. A leaf cutter was used for the logo on top, only the cutter was too small, so I used a straight knife cutter, to cut a half and inch OUTSIDE the cutter. You have to be careful not to press on the leaf cutter, as you don't want the leaf print to appear on your finished leaf.

The writing was all done in royal icing. I always start from the middle and finish the words on that line, then work backwards from the middle to the front. That way placement of the words turns out pretty good.

The rope trim was done with white and blue rolled together, then twisted to get the stripped look.

... and thats it! A Toronto Maple Leafs Cake :)
