I did this for my son's 9th birthday "football" party - it is an idea off the Wilton website. Player is fondant w/ the face mask made of royal icing, and the football is decorated with buttercream. Mason didn't want to cut the cake and mess it up!!! HA!
You know you did good when they don't want to cut it! Very cute.
Well done!! Excellent job on the face mask, btw. What a great memory for the both of you!
Now this is cute and you a great job on your son BD cake, I can see why he wouldn't want to cut it. God Bless, Sharon
