I've been making super bowl cakes for a long time, I don't know how many years, maybe 10 and that includes missing a year or two. It started when I saw this cake in a magazine 
and was like, I can totally do better than that and trust me. Mine was way cooler. I even had a peanut m&m football. And it was completely obvious from my cake I know nothing about football as I had like 5 different plays going at once. Other cakes have included a half time show featuring quarter machine aliens playing instruments. They usually have team logos on them, but not always because some teams have sucky logos *cough*Patriots*cough* and have gone to the super bowl a bunch of times and did I mention their logos suck? anyway this year the logos aren't too bad. Here are some pictures of the cake in the making and I will update it after Sunday when we eat it.
My sister sent me a cool cake link on Pinterest and I used it to make the cake.

Here are the pictures

| Batter in the pan. I felt VERY Dr. Suess |
 |
| After it had been baked |
 |
| Pretty colors inside! Not sure why so many holes though... |
 |
| Frosted cake with stencil I printed and cut out and frosting. It's two layers, fyi. |
 |
| Stencil on the cake, smeared with frosting. It's much more complicated than it looks. You have to make sure the paper doesn't move and get frosting in the wrong places. |
 |
| Stencil has been removed. The gaps had to be filled in by hand. I used a shish kabob skewer... |
 |
| Finished cake. I had to put in the sprinkles one at a time as I was too lazy to make another stencil. Also I was concerned it would mess up the blue frosting. |
