Touchdown!

Today Eric, Jr and Preston celebrated their first birthday. Happy Birthday! I was given the honor of making their first birthday cake. It was a Redskins themed party, and they wanted a Redskins cake. So we decided to go with a cake decorated to look like a football field, with the twins' names in the endzones. Is that supposed to be all one word? Endzones....end zones....*shrug*

I know little to nothing about football. Some guys put on a bunch of padding and uniforms and run with a ball towards a goal post...that's about the extent of it. So at first I was a little nervous about doing the cake. But the more we planned the more confident I felt. And so, I give you Preston and Eric, Jr's first birthday cake:

It was a chocolate cake with Butter Vanilla buttercream. **THIS IS A COMPLETELY FONDANT-FREE CAKE** Even the Redskins logo was made out of buttercream. Here's a close-up:

So now I know what I'll make if I ever have a Super Bowl party!
