Cincinnati Bengals Cake

Apparently 11 year old boys like sports? I wouldn't really know since I have all girls. But I have an 11 year old tom boy who likes sports, so I guess this makes sense. This birthday boy's favorite football team is the Cincinnati Bengals. That was the only direction I was given and what size of cake he wanted. I had fun coming up with the design for this, which changed about 3 times. I wanted to do a football helmet and football on top out of modeling chocolate. Then the weather decided to be 75 degrees and my chocolate was way too soft to model anything. I did try my hand at painting for the first time. The bengal is all hand painted by moi. This tiered cake is 8", 6" French vanilla/chocolate fudge marble with chocolate pudding filling, vanilla buttercream, and covered in fondant.
