For my brother's birthday, I thought it would be nice to make him a cake featuring his favorite sport - hockey. I went to my local cake shop and bought my first set of cake pans and hockey player cake toppers (please don't ask why the net is a soccer goal). Then, I went to the store and bought devil's food cake mix, vanilla frosting, a bag of chocolate chips and vanilla pudding.
I didn't know what I was doing, but I thought adding chocolate chips to the cake batter sounded smart - unfortunately, all it did was give everyone a sugar rush with each bite. Looking back, I think I always added an extra bag of chocolate chips to everything I made...weird. Or super smart. Whatever.
Somehow, my 12-year-old self managed to bake and layer the cake without messing up too much. A coat of frosting later and I ended up with this masterpiece, my very first (but certainly not my last) hockey cake!
