Go Chargers!

To celebrate Jaden's 13th Birthday.... He got a Chargers cake!

I don't know much about the Chargers, but their colors are yellow and blue with a lightening bolt as their sports mascot.

So... Erin and I were looking through 'Charger Cakes' on Pinterest and Google, and we came up with the idea of making a curved lightening bolt cake! Go figure!

It was super fun to make, and it was also a pain in the butt since I'm so stinking short!

I had to get on a chair to see over the top of the counter so I could make sure I was making the lightening bolt look the way it was supposed to look. 

I started out with 2 sheet cakes, and I had the batter colored yellow and blue, then I just marbled them together, like so:

I was getting anxious while making these since it was around 8pm. So I already had the other cake in the oven when I took this picture.

After they were baked and cooled, I put them in the freezer between sheets of parchment paper.

I was worried that the sheets of parchment paper would stick to the bottoms of the cakes, but when I peeled them off, they came off perfectly! Such a great minuscule detail when working with cakes.

So I cut the cake layers into a LIGHTENING BOLT.... And once I had my two layers stacked on top of each other... it looked like a puny little cake. So I had the grand idea to piece together the rest of the cakes I had already cut into. And I was able to get 4 layers out of my 2 cakes!

The marbled effect on cakes is just so awesome to me! :D

And of course, we can't forget Jaden's jersey number! Jaden #17!

His mama said he loved the cake, and it was the perfect amount of cake for all their party guests!

Happy 13th Birthday Jaden!!
