FYI: I love football and my husband LOVES football. Us Fords are huge 49er fans and luckily this year my hubby's birthday landed right on the season opener game day. I just had to make a 49er themed cake to celebrate.
Dustin claims this is my best cake so far. I like it but I have a feeling it scored more points because the design was more up his alley than my usual pink and bows. I was shocked at how long the logo took me. I had to redo it a few times because I kept getting the letters off. At first it was all fondant, then I used buttercream for the letters to make it more exact. By the time I got the logo finished I was pretty wore out, which is my excuse for the funky looking football. I guess from far away it looks fine but up close, not so good... I ran out of brown coloring and sure enough the fondant kept tearing. I tried to make it look more worn and used to make up for all of the flaws. I actually used Dustin's favorite Monster Cookies for the center. It was similar to using rice krispie treats but a little heavier. Looking at the picture now I should have put the Birthday on top with the Happy but oh well. Can't change it now ;)
