How to Make Football Cakes

Easy instructions for making these football cakes:

Bake the cake in a Football Cake Pan When the cake is cool, place it on a cake board.

With white icing and star tip, size #18, put white bands on the ends of the football.

Next fill in the rest of the football with brown icing and the same size tip.

With white icing and smooth basketweave tip size #44, make a strip down the center of the ball.

Make short strips across the long strip. Refer to the picture.

With dark brown icing and round tip size #5, make a curved line around the white stitching on the football.

Write your message on the board using white icing and round tip, size #5.
