White cake with white chocolate ganache filling. I also put a thin layer of chocolate in between the layers. I melted down some Ghirardelli choc. chips. It was a great tasting combination.

This is my first time covering & decorating a cake with fondant. The football is also made out of fondant. Next time, I'll try gum paste. I used the Wilton pearlized shimmer dust on the white and the gold shimmer dust on the stripes and balls. I made this as a gift for my uncle and I really just wanted an excuse to try fondant. I'm happy with the way it turned out. But practice will make perfect. The fleur de lis was drawn on with a food marker.
