Viva Ronaldo For Football Cakes?

If you are ordering a cake for a football fan, it is fairly safe to say they will appreciate something themed around their favourite team or player more than something generic like a ball or green icing with pitch markings.

This time of year is a particularly good time for such birthdays to fall, as fans of teams all over the country will be excited about new signings at their club, making these an obvious topic for a 3D football cake.

Unless one has spent a lot of time on a remote island or underground, it will be impossible to miss the biggest transfer story of the season, with the return of the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United.

That has prompted a huge outbreak of Ronaldo mania - not just from Manchester United fans either - as one of the greatest players of all time returns to England. Moreover, United were even able to get the shirt numbers changed to ensure he wears the famous 7.

A 3D cake with a familiar figure wearing the red number 7 will inevitably prove popular, not least as the veteran has hit the ground running with three goals in his first two games back at the club.

Of course, Ronaldo is not the only big signing that has taken place this summer. Chelsea have also brought back a former player with the return of Romelu Lukaku, while Manchester City broke the British transfer record to secure the services of Jack Grealish, one of the stars of England’s run to the European Championship final.

These may be among the biggest names at the leading clubs, but we can take orders for any sort of football theme, whatever the club or player. You might, for instance, follow a small club in London like AFC Wimbledon or even the Football League’s newest boys Sutton United.

Such clubs might not be in the headlines every week like Ronaldo, but they can still look and taste great on a cake.
