My husband is a Chicago Blackhawks fan.
He put in a request for a Jersey for his birthday cake.
I've always wanted to make one, so this was my chance.
My dilemma was how to make the Indian Head.
What I came up with....
Color Flow Icing!
Perfect!
Easy!
I made the icing in the colors that I would need.
The trick is to make sure that the piped border icing is thicker than the filled colors.
Also, make sure to allow time to dry the piece.
So make it in advance.
Make a spare too!!

The left is my color flow image.
To make the Color Flow piece.
First, find and print the piece you want to copy.
Tape it to a sturdy piece of cardboard.
Cover with saran wrap.
Place a piece of Wax Paper over it.
Trace and color!
Easy Peasy.
The final result.
Picture of my cake with an actual jersey.
I think it's pretty good.
What do you think?
The cake itself is just a sheet cake.
I trimmed an area out for the color and rounded the shoulders.
The letters are cut from a cricut cake machine.
On a side note,
I think next time I will try to make the sleeves look a little puffier and less flat.
Other than that, I am very happy with the way it came out.
Life is short,
Eat dessert first!
