I have been asked to make a cake for someone who has been promoted to head coach of a football team. I wanted to make something fun...does anyone have any suggestions?

How many does it have to feed? Wilton does have a football pan if you are able to rent it. You could put that on top of a slab decorated like a football field. Put the team logo on the football.

I'm not sure if you do FBCT's but here's something I found Googling that might be fun.

You could also use this one, changing the name and team, of course.

Williams-Sonoma also has a stadium cake that you can make and put on top of a sheet decorated with the school colors.

If you look in my photos, you will see a football on a field as pastryjen suggested. I did this with a 12 x 18 pan and the football pan. if you have any questions, just pm me.

Shim, I just did a football cake a couple of weeks ago. You can see it in my photos. I made it for an ex pro football player that is now a Doctor and he loved it. My daughter is his office manager so it worked out perfect for me to make the cake for his party. It was a huge hit!
