Super Bowl XLV!

I know, I know.. I haven't been keeping up with the 30 days of me! A friend on my facebook is doing something with pictures, I might start that instead!

This weekend the husband and I celebrated our Valentine's day. My mom wanted to watch our daughter so we figured since we'd have the day/night alone we'd spend it wisely! We ended up with tickets to a Philadelphia Flyers game (woohoo!!) and that's where we were Saturday night. Thirteen rows from the ice watching them beat the Dallas Stars 3-1! In just a little over a month we will be at the game again for our Christmas present from my Dad! Suite tickets.. can't wait! (more on that when the time comes!)

So, here we are on Super Bowl Sunday! I don't care to watch the game. Football isn't my thing, so I am holed up in my bedroom watching stuff off my DVR. However, I will take any "occasion" as a chance to bake and since we were having a mini "party" at my Mom's today I thought, "why not make a cake?!" So, here it is:

It's a 4 layer chocolate cake with buttercream icing and fondant accents. The helmets and football were made from rice cereal treats! I had a few icing mishaps (read: a certain 4yr olds little fingers) and touching that up was difficult because the icing had already set. Oh well! Live & Learn!

There you have it! I hope whomever you are wishing to win tonight does so!

You already know that I am your biggest fan and this cake is by far your best one yet! Are you sure I can't convince you to fly here for Dylan's birthday and do his cake?! Please tell me you at a slice for me! <3

Oh my word. Girl, that cake is BOMB. I wouldn't dare bake one or decorate one for all that matters. You got some talent. :)

What a cute cake. You are so talented. Dont worry I was not into the football game. Just watched the commercials :)
