Football Cake

2 Pepperidge Farm Chocolate Fudge 3 Layer Cake
Assorted decorating gel (black, white)
1 package (4.9 ounces) Pepperidge Farm Mini Milano Cookies

REMOVE cakes from freezer. Trim 1 edge of Styrofoam plate even with cake, using scissors. Repeat with other cake. Place these two sides together. Carefully trim corners of cake to form a "football." Set corners aside. Let stand 15 minutes or until frosting softens.

SMOOTH frosting where cakes are joined, using a metal spatula dipped in water. Smooth frosting on sides of cake. If needed, use additional frosting from corners pieces.

MAKE an outline of a football on top of cake and laces down center, using white piping gel.

DECORATE sides of cake with Mini Milano cookies, pressing gently to adhere. Make football laces on cookies using black piping gel. Makes 1 cake.
