Is football your passion? Got an arm-chair quarterback (or a real one) in your household? If this describes you, you’ll want to include great eats on “football day.”

What will your menu include? Assorted appetizers, dips and chips and a kettle full of piping hot chili for a group? Or, are you snuggling down for a simple evening at home with some of pizza and wings?

Whatever your druthers, make it extra special and bake a football cake! The cake pictured below was designed for a little boy’s birthday but can so easily be adapted to top off any football celebration!
