Superbowl Xliii

Superbowl Xliii on Cake Central

I baked this in an oven-proof bowl and then cut it in half. Because the bowl was flat, I had to add extra cake scraps to get the points on either end of the football. The chocolate buttercream icing I used didn't work out so well (see the chocolate chunks??) but I didn't have time to re-make before the party, so I had to use it anyway. I traced the logo onto wax paper and rested it on the cake, poking along the outline with a pin to transfer the image... and it did NOT work. Just messed up the icing because the wax paper stuck. I ended up just drawing the logo on freehand with a pin and then filling it in with icing. Despite the headache, I was pleased with how it turned out, and it was the hit of the party. Not bad for my 3rd cake, anyway! :)
