Bake The Cake
First, bake the cake in a 9x13 cake pan according to the instructions on the box.
Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before transferring it to a serving tray.
Frost The Cake
While the cake is cooling, color the vanilla frosting with green food gel.
Next, frost the cake with green icing.
Add The Stadium Details
Next, create six horizontal lines approximately two inches apart using white cookie icing.
Add rainbow sprinkles along the two long sides of the cakes.
Then, using the white cookie icing, write 'TOUCHDOWN' in both end zones.
Make The Chocolate Goal Posts
Next, add the chocolate to the large bowl and melt according to the package instructions, or follow these guidelines:Microwave on high for 45 seconds, then stir thoroughly.Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly.Continue microwaving in 15 to 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly, until all the chocolate has just about melted. (The remaining few pieces should melt on their own, and it’s a good way to ensure you don’t overheat the chocolate). Next, transfer the chocolate into a candy piping bag. Snip the end of the bag with scissors.
Then, trace goal posts onto a piece of parchment paper.
Once the chocolate has hardened remove the chocolate goal posts and place them at the center of each short ends of the cake.
Optionally, add a football cake ball on the field.
Enjoy!
