Team Canada Hockey Cake

I started with two sheet cakes and tried to shape some arms with some extra cake. I did a thin icing coating over the cake and then laid down some fondant made with marshmallows. I was going to buy the packs of fondant at Michaels' with the different fondant colours...but in order the get black and red they were in different box sets and would have been over $30 plus taxes to get the colours I needed and then would have had a bunch of colours I didnt' even want. I find black and red hard to make...and was low on time, so went for the tubes of icing that you can even get at grocery store, I got mine at Bulk barn. The plastic tubes they come in are very stiff and you'd being making it harder for yourself if you didn't put the icing in normal piping bags. My printer was out of ink, so I pulled up an image of the jersey on the computer screen and literally taped saran wrap across the screen and copied the image with a marker. Then places the saran over top of the smooth fondant (which I had rolled out with a mixture of icing sugar and cornstarch so it didn't stick to table while rolling out). I took a tooth pick and just transferred the image onto the fondant and then was able to see where I was supposed to be piping or drawing. The drawing was done with the edible markers. Wonder what he'll ask for next year!!
