Thanks for all the wonderful compliments.
Ari – I hope someone from the Food Network reads blogs, especially your comment.
Cindy – you can raid my fridge anytime!! It’s the least I can provide for you allowing me to actually get some work done. Yeah for Grandmas!!!!!
Mary Gene – Next time we’re in town we can make a football cake!! You guys could probably help me get it to look more realistic seeing as how I had to use a photo of a football to remind me of how they look.

OK, how did you do it??? I LOVE the stitching…the marzapan is more realistic than the licorice strings I used when Luke was little! Very impressive.

Just had some scraps of this cake yesterday (raided Ashley’s fridge while babysitting) and even after a few days this cake was still heavenly – moist, rich, with body and the filling still melting in my mouth. Honestly one of the best I’ve had.

Wow! I knew you were talented but I had no idea you were THIS TALENTED. Great job! This is amazing, you should be on one of those Food Network cake challenges. 🙂

See, now, I would frame this. Amazing, you even put little stitches! That is my favorite part. If I lived by you I would be so fat… I occasionally think of things I would commission you to make. Like every year for our anniversary I would have you make a mini cake of the one you made for our wedding reception. Yeah, that’s right… I still think about that cake.

Amazing! Better than I ever thought a football-shaped cake could be. Too bad I missed out on those scraps 🙂

Although I know nothing about your football game, being from soccer country Holland, I do admire your wonderful work here and would not mind a piece of this at all. Wow! The combination of chocolate and coffee and the word marshmallow will grab my attention anytime…
