Rugby Jersey Cake

First off the baking line - Jimmy's belated birthday cake.

Jimmy is an All Blacks fan so the creative department of my brain was given a rest. The toss up was whether to make a jersey or a rugby ball. The jersey won - I was too scared to attempt a rugby ball shaped cake since my cake carving experience is nil.

This is my first 'carved' cake - this was a lot easier than I had thought it would be. Yippeeee! But I was let down by the black icing - it just wasn't going to do I wanted it to do and had lots of cracks/tears.

The cake is a caramel mud cake with white chocolate ganache.

I'm just wondering if I should bake another rugby jersey cake to take into work on Monday
