Here it is, the last recipe in our five-week series of game day goodies, and this one brings the football theme to life in a very literal way. It\u2019s the football cake. Actually, it\u2019s not really a cake (good news for those who don\u2019t want to bake). It\u2019s more of a watermelon sculpture. A very simple, yet very cool sculpture.<\/p>\n
FOOTBALL CAKE<\/span><\/p>\n INGREDIENTS<\/p>\n Large seedless oblong shaped watermelon DIRECTIONS<\/p>\n Slice two of the sides lengthwise down the watermelon to expose a large watermelon surface on both sides. Cut a football shaped marquis out of the watermelon. Place the watermelon cut into a football shape on a platter. Slice into thin slices but leave assembled as a football. Decorate with the frosting and licorice ties to look like a football with stitches. Serves 18 to 24.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here it is, the last recipe in our five-week series of game day goodies, and this one brings the football theme to life in a very literal way.
