Its not terrys, its charlies!

Another month, another family birthday! March saw the 15th birthday of my cousin charlie. The whole family was going for a delicious Chinese meal but due to financial constraints the hubby and i couldn't make it but promised we would be at my aunts when they all got back from the restaurant and we would of course bring a cake.
So i spoke to charlie on the phone and asked what flavour cake he would like, vanilla, orange, lemon, chocolate, chocolate mint, chocolate orange!!!
Mmmm chocolate orange sounds good he said, so instantly my mind jumped to Terrys chocolate orange.
As i came off the phone and told rob chocolate orange sponge he raised an eyebrow and said "Terrys chocolate orange?" isn't it wonderful how great minds think alike!!
So we took to google to see how such a cake could be made. As we are fairly new to making cakes shaped like things, our cake tins are all round, so yet again we got in touch with our local cake decorating centre and asked about cake tin hire. Luckily they had a tin in the shape of a half football which they hire out for £1 a day, we booked the cake tin and a kilo of brown fondant for Friday afternoon pick-up and set off to buy the real thing, for research purposes you understand!!
When Friday came we picked up our supplies and excitedly went home to start baking. "shall we just wait until Finn (our 2yr old) is in bed to start baking, they shouldn't take too long" asked the hubby i dutifully agreed, not particularly wanting to bake with a mad toddler running riot!!
So 7pm came, Finn went to bed and the mixing of ingredients began, Orange flavouring and cocoa powder were added to the mix and the whole lot was poured in to the football tin. Timer set for 25mins and kettle boiled we put our feet up and waited.
25 minutes later we popped a skewer in the cake and found it wasn't quite cooked, back in for another 10mins, then another 10 and another 10 and another 10 and another 10!! finally after a total cooking time of 1hr and 20mins the first cake was ready,unfortunately it was now after 9pm and we still had to put another cake in, but we didn't really have a lot of choice, so at 10.40pm we took the second cake out of the oven, let it cool and popped one on top of the other and realised we had a big problem!!
As one cake had sadly risen more than the other as a whole they weren't quite as spherical as we would have liked but at 11pm we didn't much care, we'd just fix it in the morning!!
