Ice Rink Birthday Cake

Prep and Cook

• Bake or buy a rectangular cake
  Transfer the cake to a 9” x 13” x 3” foil cake pan in order to create the ‘boards’ that go around the perimeter of the rink
• Using a palette knife, spread the white icing over the top of the cake, taking care to fill in any gaps between the cake and the foil pan
• Attach the star tip to the red decorator icing and pipe the centre line down the centre of the cake
  Place the plastic nets in the middle of the short sides of the rectangle and pipe another red line in front of each net
• Using a round cookie cutter, or the rim of a glass, mark the centre ice and other faceoff circles
  Remove the star tip from the red icing and wash it
  Attach the round tip to the tube of red icing and pipe along the circle lines
  Using the same tip, create small red dots in the centre of the circles and between the red and blue lines as illustrated in the photo
• Attach the clean star tip to the blue decorator icing tube and pipe the blue lines about halfway between the two red lines
  Press the hockey puck candle into the centre ice circle and place two hockey stick candles on either side
