Football-Shaped Cakes: This brown-colored frosting is ideal for frosting football-shaped cakes.

Cooking Know-How: For best results, spread frosting onto cake right away. Do not allow it to set up.

Easy Super Sunday Cake: Bake cake and remove from pan as directed. Do not cut cake. Frost with Cappuccino Pudding Frosting. Just before serving, draw lines on top of cake with decorating gel to resemble yard lines. Place toy football players and decorations on top of cake.

Creative Leftovers: Store cake trimmings in tightly covered container at room temperature. Cut into cubes, then layer with additional Cappuccino Pudding Frosting to make a quick-and-easy trifle.
