My boyfriend is a die hard Houston Texans fan. It doesn't matter that they haven't made the playoffs in their entire existence. He loves them and I feel sorry for anyone who makes fun of them in his presence. He will throw a huge tantrum! Haha, just kidding. He'll flick you hard, though.
For his birthday last year (July), his request was red velvet cake with buttercream frosting and something having to do with the Texans. Since he is an amazing artist (you should see what he drew me for my birthday), I asked him to draw me a Texans logo in a certain size. I definitely didn't want to make the logo look like others I've seen, all wonky and misshapen. After he drew me the logo, I created a stencil out of it and went to work.
I took my stencil, colored and rolled out some gumpaste and used my trusty Exacto knife for the logo. This was my first "carved" cake and I was soooo nervous. Plus it was for my boyfriend so I was extra nervous. I think the cake was box and the buttercream was a mix but I can't be sure. He totally loved it and it took him a couple days to actually allow the logo layer to be cut into. I was proud of myself on this one, for sure.
