College Football Cake
Here are some ideas for you (assuming you, like me, are not a pro). If you have any tips or tricks that you have picked up along the way, please leave a comment - I'd love to improve!
- To make the football cake, I poured an appropriate amount of batter into a loaf pan, then after it had baked and cooled, I carved the corners down to make the football shape.
- Before icing the cupcakes, I like to dig a small hole in the center and then pipe icing into the center of the cupcake (think "Hostess cupcake" here). Then I spread the icing on top and decorate.
- If you have extra decorative/scrapbook paper, it makes a pretty base for the cake or cupcakes to sit on, and it can enhance the theme you are going for. For example, try grass-printed paper under a football cake, or water-printed paper under island-decorated cupcakes.
- I haven't tried making these cupcake holders yet, but they are very cute. In case you would like to try, the template from snowandgraham.com is here.
