Transform your next Super Bowl party with a homemade sheet pan football stadium cake! This easy-to-make dessert requires no special baking or decorating skills and is sure to impress your guests.
Here's what you need: - A 12-by-17-inch sheet cake (any flavor) - Green frosting - White frosting - Brown or chocolate frosting (optional) - Various candies such as M&Ms, Sour Patch Kids, or other colorful candies - Cooking spray - Toothpick flags (with teams' pennants or printed out templates) - Parchment paper - Chocolate chips - Pretzel sticks
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Bake the sheet cake in a 12-by-17-inch pan and allow it to cool completely.
- Coat the sheet pan with cooking spray and place a piece of parchment paper on the center of the cake.
- Frost the entire cake with green frosting to resemble the grass of the football field.
- Use white frosting to draw yard lines, end zone boundaries, and the center field line on the green frosting.
- Place a ruler next to the sheet pan, find the mid-point of the field, and pipe the middle line first. Then pipe three evenly spaced lines on each side of the middle line.
- Place a candy football in the middle of the field. Add 11 gummy bear players on each side of the field.
- Stick a couple of flags into each side of the sprinkles to mimic a crowd.
- Sprinkles are used to represent the crowd on the cake.
- Melt about 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips in the microwave. Dip the tips of pretzel sticks into the chocolate, then arrange into a goal post shape. Let the chocolate harden, and carefully peel up the assembled goal posts.
- Stick one goal post into each end of the cake.
- Optionally, use brown or chocolate frosting to make a large football shape in the middle or at the side of the cake.
- Add any team logos or numbers with colored icing or edible markers for extra detail.
