I made this for a friend's little boy who likes to be the goalkeeper! I totally forgot to put a football on (it was a ridiculously busy week), so I told him that as he was such a good goalie, the ball was obviously in play 'up-field' lol.

I made the goalpost using a length of wire inside a 'sausage' of flower paste. I then sewed the (washed) net from a bag of satsumas to it and used royal icing to attach it to the cake. I wish I'd have had more time to do this - I'd have made the net much neater.

The figure is made from tylosed fondant and is wearing the 'Wolverhampton Wanderers' strip.
