(COOKING) FOR THE HORDE
What do you do for one of your gaming buddies when it's their birthday? Why you bake a World of Warcraft themed cake of course!
I'm quietly chuffed with how this turned out. It's really simple to do. Just find a Horde insignia, like this one here. Blow it up to the size of the cake. Print it and then cut out the logo. This leaves you with a stencil.
Position the stencil on top of the cake and then pour your sprinkles all over the stencil. Gently push the sprinkles into the frosting and then tilt the cake and let the remaining sprinkles run off into a baking tray.
The trickiest part is lifting the stencil without doing too much damage to the frosting or spilling surplus sprinkles all over the cake. Once you've managed to lift the stencil carefully using a knife to tidy up the frosting. When it's done put it in the fridge to let the frosting set.
This image is just before it went into the fridge. Once the frosting has set I'll move the cake to a clean plate and get ready to serve. Thank goodness he plays Horde and not Alliance, their insignia would have been hell to do!
This will make a nice little addition to the day we've got planned to help him celebrate. A LAN party - we're all getting together to spend the day playing World of Warcraft. Perfect!
Oh, and what do you give a World of Warcraft addict for their birthday...
Loved this gift so much, I got one for myself. As I said to HUBBY when he accused me of being addicted to t-shirts, "I'm a t-shirt connoisseur!".
