Coolest Eagles Football Birthday Cake

My husband is a HUGE Eagles fan, and since I’ve started learning the art of decorating cakes, he has been dying for me to make him a Eagles Football Birthday Cake. I finally made him one for his birthday this year! The cake was made using Wilton’s First and Ten football cake pan. I used their recipe for basic yellow cake and white and chocolate butter-cream for the icings.

I used a star tip, number 18 to fill in the body of the football and also for the stripes on the ends. I used a writing tip, number 3 to outline the lettering and logo. I filled in with stars in white butter-cream for the lettering and made the green, gray and black icings myself, using Wilton’s coloring gels. I also used white butter-cream as a base for tinting the colors (except for the black, if you start with chocolate butter-cream, it is MUCH easier to turn black.)

I am attempting a much more difficult cake for the Superbowl this year. I’m so excited to see how it turns out!
