I made this Football cake for an ’07 Superbowl party. My brother-in-law is a fan of the Patriots so I chose to use their helmet.
This is a three (9 in) layer round cake that I carved to look more like an official helmet. I used grey colored fondant for the base and I printed a picture of the logo to use as a template (the logo is made of colored fondant). The face guard is made of twislers that I reinforced with thin wire and toothpicks. I used a little pressure to create the dip where the ear hole would be.
Tips: I like to attach the details with water instead of icing because I believe you will get a better bond and you won’t see gaps or bits of icing on the edges (this happens when you over estimate the amount of frosting/glue)
Roll your fondant on a smooth surface and don’t use the underside as the top. The bottom isn’t as smooth as the side that you used a roller (as you may be able to tell, there are small cracks on the top).

Your cake is awesome…I am attempting to make a helmet cake for my dad’s birthday…I usually free hand everything…even painting of logos, but I want this cake to be perfect, so could you explain how you print the logo and use it as a template…because your logo is perfect
I print a couple of appropriate sized logos (number depending on the amount of different colors/details). saving one copy as a reference, i cut the details out of the other copies usually by color. for this logo made three copies. one for the dark blue and one for the red and gray. the third copy was my reference and stencil for the white background. I use a small sharp blade to cut around the paper templates and into the fondant. I glue all my pieces together with water. not all patterns work well with this technique but it works for most designs. I prefer to use this because it isn’t as permanent as piping directly onto the cake surface. If you mess up, you can start again without re-icing.
