Hi Everyone,

I have learned quite a bit from this fantastic web site, I am now hoping you can help me come up with a way (preferably easy) to create a score board that I will incorporate into a FULL Sheet Cake that I am doing this July for a 40th Birthday Party. The party is for a College Football Coach and his wife loves the idea of turning the cake into a field. For Goal Posts I was going to use Small Dowel Rods painted and glued together. But I really am at a loss for what to do for a score board and would appreciate any ideas. Thank you

Make a large rectangle cookie, stick two large lollipop sticks in it, cover the cookie with black fondant and use royal icing to make the numbers and such.

I would print the scoreboard out onto cardstock (maybe even laminate it) and attach it to dowels that were also painted. Then insert that into the cake. It will be light so it won't fall over. Should look great too!

You can do a google image search to find a pic of a scoreboard or take a photo of the team's actual scoreboard and print that.

Thank you for the great ideas. You've been a great help.
