Title: Just NOT Cricket!
Post by: Doris_Pinks on July 09, 2006, 22:39:00
Well actually it is supposed to be!
Aunts hubby's 70th, wanted a cake and asked me to do it, hadn't got a clue about cricket, but after research I now know that you are not allowed to water the pitch during a game! (amazing the stuff you read about)
So here is the cake, wasn't sure wether to put it here or in recipes, but I guess tis a pic or 2!

Wow, that is wonderful DP, just had to minimise the photo when my lad came in as he would want one and I could never do anything like that.  Brilliant! :)

That is a brilliant cake DorisP.  You have done a fantastic job and it looks so professional.  The detail looks amazing! How on earth did you do all the little accessories?  :D busy_lizzie

If you watered the pitch that would have a drstic effect on the way the ball bounced. If it was allowed that would open the way to all sorts of bribery to get it watered on the day that favoured a particular team!

GG, they are! Daughter managed to scoff a knee pad thingy (see how I am up on cricket!!) at the party, she had been eyeing it up for a few days so was well chuffed to get a taste of the sweet stuff! ;D
