The Halfpipe

My soon to be 13 year old (Mr M) lives his life at the Skate Park, either on his skateboard, scooter or BMX.  So it wasn't a hard decision to make him a Halfpipe for his birthday cake. 

Four days earlier, I started a Wilton Cake Decorating class and learnt how to make Buttercream Icing.  So for this cake, I covered layered store bought sponges with grey tinted Buttercream.  Once set enough, I sprayed it with food colouring spray and attempted graffiti with gel icing pens.

Mr M was fairly impressed... and all who have a 13 year old, would know that is not an easy feat!
