The Super Bowl of Sunday Sweets!
February 6, 2011 ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOOOOOTBAAAAAALLLLLLL???!???!
Awww yeah, Cake Wrecks fans, we are NOT going to disappoint on this Super Bowl Sunday! Granted, the three of us know as much about football as we do Japanese ventriloquism, but we wouldn't dream of featuring non-Super Bowl-related cakes on such an auspicious occasion. In fact, today we're going the extra mile and celebrating the entire list of playoff teams with amazing Sweets. Booyah!
First, remember in the playoffs when that guy from the Patriots was all like, "I've got the ball and I'm running toward the goal with it!!"

YAY, COLTS!
But golly, we were all thrown for a loop when those Jets hit the court!
And when they went up against those Falcons, boy... we never could have predicted that thing that happened at that one point there.

GO MASTER CHIEF!
And then, oh SNAP! The Ravens came out of nowhere and were at the 40 yard line... the 30... the 20...
Yeah. That's SO Raven.
By the Disneyland Bakery. We think.
WELCOME TO THE HOTEL CALIFORNIA, EAGLES!
Man, the Packers traveled all the way from Boston to go head to head against the Milwaukee Steelers.
But the Steelers were all like, "We're not gonna lose, no way!! We're gonna take that round thing and run until the guy in black and white blows his whistle!"

Will the Steelers steel themselves to steal a victory? Only time will tell. And 'til then, we'll just keep cheering on our favorite team.
GO RED SOX!

Yes, but where are the daisies?
Go Red Sox! ;)
You never fail to bring a smile to my face, Jen! SO hilarious!
HA HA HA! Fabulous post. And...So SOX!
This is hilarious! I enjoy looking at the pictures, but the commentary really takes the cake! (no pun intended. really.)
I laughed the whole time I was reading this post lol!! The winnie the pooh cake is simply is AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS.
I love it! Now to find my nachos...
AWESOME! One of my fave SS posts ever!!!
First, I NEED that patriotic cake for my next birthday (July 4, in case you were wondering.)
Second, I just did NOT see the Falcon cake coming at all. :)
Third, my DS flipped at the Master Chief Cake. His expression was priceless.
what the heck is that thing supposed to be under the chiefs reference? it is nicely made but i cant tell what it is.
go funny comercials! (isnt that why most people watch anyway)
Wow. I learned so much about football!
Also I loved the horse cake
omg everyone laughed at me when I said the Seahawks sounded like a hockey team! tiny victory!
SILLY OLD BEARS!
SO funny! I barely know anything about football myself but I LOVED this post. Very funny.
Wow - that was awesome! :)
This was 852 kinds of awesome.
Two words... AWE-SOME! Halo, Star Wars, Winnie the Pooh, patriotic stars, pretty horses and a cute lil' Bobbie arresting a burgler?
It is too much... my brain went all splody!
Funniest post yet. Nice one! x
This is hilarious! Great post!! BTW Go Pittsburgh Steelers!!!
He he he! Funny you should mention Japanese ventriloquists...that is a long time family joke for us! Anyone can be a Japanese ventriloquist...not much need to move your lips when speaking Japanese! LOVE IT!!! Love your blog!
Wow that was an amazing millennium falcon...and totally random, which I loved. And those little monkeys and their teensy little bananas! So cute! But the best part? I was so confused as to why there was a hotel cake after the Eagles reference. Then I scrolled down and read the caption. Cue insane laughter and strange looks. So good. Also one of my favorite songs, so bonus! Well done!

That Colts cake was INCREDIBLE! Sculpture at its finest!
You are soooo clever.
One of the best super bowl posts ever! definitely going to facebook post!
Best. Post. Ever.
And mmmmmmm....edible Millenium Falcon.
All terribly cute, but I am slightly confused by the random layer of Baroque Angels in the middle of the "Colts" cake.
*Scooby laugh*
You know I just learned the word "bobbie" (which my firefox spellcheck apparently doesn't acknowledge as a word, silly old spellcheck) a couple of weeks ago. Now I sort of want to use it everywhere.
Look at that bobbie on the side of the road! Man that was a rude bobbie wasn't it? Hey! Just met a guy called Bobby. He's a bobbie.
I tried to be grouchy about the lack of actual football, I really did. But those cakes are all so utterly gorgeous that I simply can't be upset about it. These are truly some of my favorite Sweets ever - they're all just stunning. I love the Pooh Bear cake and the Saint monkeys are precious. The Colt cake is possibly my absolute favorite EVER, though. I seriously might print it out an hang it on my wall because I know it will make me smile every time I see it without fail.
Maybe we could get some actual football Sweets for the college season next year, though, pretty please? ^_^
Go Steelers!
LOL. This is priceless!
Fave part: "I mean, it's like magic when the Seahawks hit the ice!"
It is, it is.
OMG, you crack me up!! Now this is MY kind of Super Bowl post! Love. It.
That British police cake is simply adorable.
SILLY OLD BEARS! For the win! Took me a while to figure out the Eagles one, but ones I read the caption at the bottom, I understood.
Your play on words was brilliant! Thanks for the laughs.
hah! Punnier than usual, good job.
And ohmygosh.....the cherubs and horses!! How did they do that?! Awesome.
For a minute, I thought my sister wrote this. I love her dearly, but she knows as much about football as I do about a Mac.
"Man, the Packers traveled all the way from Boston to go head to head against the Milwaukee Steelers." I'm not sure if you just messed up by saying the Steelers come out of Milwaukee or it was intentional. If it's intentional then I don't get it.
Otherwise, the cakes and commentary are absolutely fantastic. Well done.
the winnie the pooh cake is absolutely delightful! and the hear-see-speak no evil cupcakes are adorable as well.
GO PACK GO!!!
If only real football was as entertaining. ;) The Millenium Falcon and the picture of Raven cracked me up! Great job guys.
wv: conlicks -- I conlicks the frosting bowl?
Best. Football. Post. Ever!
But I'm waiting for the impending Epcot because you said the Steelers are from Milwaukee. Silly Number 1...everyone knows they're from Detroit.
You know as much about football as I do! Completely awesome post. Truly! And I see you have another Doodle-cakes cake in there - sublime. Every young boy (and some not so young ones will know exactly what that is!). Love her stuff! Lots of talent in a single post. Brava!
Bahaha! Falcons. Ha.
The Pororo cake is rather nice. :O And the Pooh one!
these are two all-around beastly teams. neither team has a weakness. both deserve to be in this game. but if I had to bet on one, I'd say that Packers will win.I respect the Steelers,they beat every team fairly and did a great job, but due to the past games, I think the Packers are just unstoppable right now.
I love your blog; it's the only one I actually read every day. At one point in my life, I was a cake decorator, so the technical details for the Sunday Sweets never fail to amaze. I'm a big sports fan who used to work for a team as the retail buyer. I've ben waiting for your Super Bowl Sunday Sweets, because I know there are some really awesome decorators out there who can do really creative work with football cakes. While your commentary was great (as always), I am really disappointed that there were no real football cakes today. That's like doing a Sunday Sweets during Comic Con that revolves around sports logos. Some of your fans really ARE sports fans, too, and look forward to "our turn," even if our particular team choked and died early in the season. I guess there's always next year...
re Kim h: The Chiefs cake is a helmet
from the video game Halo 3. I'm not an expert on Halo 3, as I've never played it, so maybe someone who knows more about the game could help us out.
I hope we don't have another Epcot on our hands with this post.
That said, I appreciate this greatly. I hate football so this is awesome for me. :D
This is Puppy Bowl Sunday. Is there also a football game today?
Love the sweets, but...RED SOX?!
Boo-hiss and p'tooey on them--GO YANKEES! :D
Awesome!!!
can I just say......I adore you.....can you see my waving my lit bic in the air???
I found this post a bit annoying. It seems weird when someone freely admits to having no interest or knowledge about a topic but decides to 'participate' in said topic anyway. The results often turn out such that you are trivializing something that other people really care about.
I'm sure you wouldn't be completely happy if Troy Polamalu (plays for the Steelers) announced that he thought cakes were dumb and then began a cake judging blog
Awesome, awesome post. The string of Eagles references was amazing, and the Falcon cake--glorious!
And I also know next to nothing about football, so glad to know I'm not alone! (your commentary reminded me of a line from the Big Chill, "The guy in the hat did something terrible.")
Come on Manchester United! Oh wait, hang on, wrong football.
