Thanks milknhoney! The numbers and letters are fondant as well as the black 'score board' on the side.

You must have read my mind! LOL my boyfriend's birthday is coming up and he wanted a football cake. Your cake came out awesome! May I borrow this idea??

I really like your color combinations and ideas. Very neat wrok. Is this part fondant, part buttercream?

Meant to say "very neat work"!!

Of course! It was easy, fondant on the sides, modeling choc for the football and the good old grass tip for the bc on top. Thanks for the comment and good luck!

I should say, I used a football shaped pan for the cake part of the football and then covered it with modeling chocolate.

This is terrific. Great job! :D

Great cake! Going into my favs.

I like this better than just the football cake I made - great job!

What a great job! Are the numbers and letters fondant too? If bc which tip did you use.

Thanks to everyone for the comments on this cake. I'm just starting out and it really means a lot to have that kind of feedback!
