San Diego Chargers Cake

I got a surprise call from my friend Lynn who asked for a surprise cake for her husband's birthday.  Brandon and I used to work together (before kids, a hundred or so years ago).  He is from San Diego so he got a cake with his team on it!

We did a red velvet cake with cream cheese icing.  It was the first time I tinted cream cheese icing, and it actually worked out pretty well.  I kept the borders and writing a regular vanilla buttercream so it would pipe well.  The logo is a cut fondant layered on top of each other.
