NY Jets Helmet and Guinness Pint Glass Cakes

These two cakes (NY Jets helmet and Guinness beer) were our surprise gift for a good friend, John. The cake was originally designed as a Guinness Pint Glass cake. The cake was so moist and dense that it the dowels at the bottom layer of the cake were wiggling from the weight of the top cake. The cake had a weak structure. My fear happened, like any other cake decorators, the bottom cake gave in and the top cake fell. With a luck, I was able to grab the top cake. This cake was the top part of the "supposed" pint glass cake.

I didn't want to present this cake to John, instead in less than 4 hours, I was able to come up with a NY Jets Helmet cake from the remaining cake for the Guinness Pint Glass Cake.

Viola! Here's the alternative surprise cake for John. After all, both cakes were served.

John is a NY Jets and loves to drink... Not only he loves to drink vodka-tonic and Guinness, he prefers his coffee with Bailey's Irish Cream. Both cakes were Guinness cake filled with Bailey's Irish Cream buttercream.
