Quick & Easy Football Cake
- 1 round cake (I used 1 – 8″ chocolate cake, but you can substitute sizes of cake)
- Chocolate Frosting
- White frosting (could be vanilla, buttercream, cream cheese, etc. – whatever you like
- Decorating tools – pastry bags, star tip and flat (or) leaf tip
- Some sort of cake board
Cut about a 2″ strip out of the middle of the cake. I was a touch narrow in this picture & definitely not straight! Oh well – I know for next time.
Remove the middle section and form a football with the remaining ends. I held the two pieces together with a little frosting,
Now decorate! I used a brown fudge frosting on the cake topped with white buttercream laces and finished with a star tip piped boarder. Perfect for your next tailgate!
the pARTy planning 
Yaaay! So simple to do but so effective. Makes me excited for fall and football season!

that’s clever – never would have thought of creating a football shape this way – though in the UK this is a rugby ball 🙂 x
