Lydia's Soccer Party Cake

I have been so busy I haven't had time to post anything for a while. So, I am going to post right now, after I just delivered this cake to a sweet (but dangerous) soccer player! 

The cake is for a soccer party for the incredibly awesome team: the Krushers!! 

It is a chocolate cake with strawberry pudding creme and real strawberry filling. The soccer ball is white chocolate cake. I tried out new recipes with this cake, including the filling from my super awesome cousin Jessica (who is a cake master!) I'm excited at how great it turned out, delicious and not too sweet! 

Filling Recipe:

1 packet flavored pudding

1 qt heavy whipping cream

1. Whisk together and let sit for 5-10 minutes until pudding consistency. 

2. You can also use this as frosting. (It will not hold it's shape like buttercream frosting but it's great for the outside of the cake.)

I had a lot of trouble trying to get the filling and frosting to become a bright, solid red but I could only get a hot pink. Thank goodness for those edible color mists I finally got the red needed for the top of the cake. But I got this cool picture making the frosting: 

My cake/cupcake hobby business has been taking off recently and keeping me busy. I will be posting about wedding cupcakes soon and sharing the recipe!
