3-D Football sheet cake

I made another birthday cake for Joanna, this time for her son Alex, who wanted a Football theme:



The effect is a football "bursting" out of the sheet cake, which is a 1/4 sheet cake decorated to look like a football field.  The football was baked using Wilton's Football pan.  I also found the plastic goal posts at the cake supply store.

Even though this isn't a traditional tiered cake, it was assembled using dowel rods for support and stability- you always want to be sure that the sheet cake can hold the weight of the cake on top, also prevent sliding or movement of the cake on top.
