Rugby and a huge lemon sponge!

Well this week has seen a request for a rugby themed cake which needs to feed 100 children! So as the weather is the usual mix of rain and grey clouds I've decided to make a head start on the modelling element of the cake. A rugby scrum is the centre piece for the cake on a large 20" x 10" lemon sponge covered in sugar paste which I'll bake next week. So far I've made goal posts from sugar sticks - as the cake is for children I don't want any dowels or inedible items on this one. I'm going to be making rugby players for the srum with shirts to match the birthday boy's team.  I'll post some pictures as I go along. Its always great to see a cake go from a piece of sponge into an amazing iced design...
