So here is a cake I am not very happy with at all! Everything that could go wrong – did. Right down to baking the cakes, ganaching, covering, decorating, you name it – it happened. The final straw was the night before where after a week of traumatic events both at work and at home, I hadn’t had a chance to ganache and decorate it as planned, I arrive home after work determined to spend the next 5 hours to get it as close to ready as possible and I find myself locked out of the house! My husband was at work on call and couldn’t leave. I was forced to forget about the cake and spent the evening with mum and dad (which was actually a blessing). 10.00pm at night I meet hubby back home from work but of course our front door lock wouldn’t work and the garage remote refused to open the garage. We call an emergency locksmith who didn’t get there until 11.00pm. Midnight we are finally in. Too tired to do anything so I figure I’ll try and finish it the next day it is due. Well, no luck there either. With only 2 hours up my sleeve I ganached, covered and decorated as best I could do from the original concept for a Liverpool soccer cake. It is not my best work and I don’t like looking at it, but I am proud I got it to a semi-presentable state . Luckily it is for my best friend who was incredibly understanding and supportive.
