This was one of my greatest challenges yet. I enjoyed creating this cake for a friend. Her son's little league team was heading to Superbowl and she wanted something outstanding for their party. This cake took approximately 6 hours to create. It consist of multiple layers of Chocolate Cake and Yellow Cake. Between each layer there was a layer of french vanilla pudding with mini chocolate chips alternated with white buttercream icing on every other layer. Once all layers were set in place I covered the cake in a thin layer of white buttercream icing. Once iced i placed it in the freezer to cool for a while just enough to have the icing set. I then took the cake out and covered it in a grey colored fondant. To create the face mask I used some wooden screwers and covered them in fondant and shaped them to create the face mask. Once completely decorated with fondant, I placed the semi-finished cake on the full sheet football field cake. The goal post were also created with skewers and fondant. Once all the was in place I polished off the cake by painting on the final coat to bring out the helmet even more. I was very pleased with the over all outcome since this was my first Football Helmet cake and it was requested one day prior. Final result...received great reviews from the player's parents and kiddos. Way to go...And yes...they did end up winning Superbowl...way to go!
