Kickoff a Great Party with a Helmet Cake!

SportCakes.com, based in Pittsburgh, announces nine new college football helmet cakes, and more are being added each month. Helmet Cakes are kits for college football fans to bake at home, so that birthday parties and game-day cookouts are more delicious than ever. Everyone’s wowed by a helmet-shaped cake!

The new Helmet Cakes are $29.95 plus shipping, and represent Penn State University, University of Pittsburgh, University of Nebraska, University of Michigan, University of Georgia, University of Tennessee, West Virginia University, Edinboro University, and Clemson University.

Each cake kit includes: 3D Reusable Helmet Cake Pan, white cake mix, colored frosting, an edible team decal to decorate with, a plastic face guard, and the cake tray for easy serving.

“You bake the cake in a helmet-shaped pan,” explained Lisa Rentz, marketing director Sportcakes.com, “so you end up with a delicious centerpiece. When you set this down on the table to sing Happy Birthday, you’re bringing the game into your home.”

The edible team decals are somewhat like stickers, and are applied over a basecoat of icing, which is also included. The colors are vivid, just as they are out on the field on the players’ helmets.

“Baking this cake is as easy as any mix you’d buy in a grocery, and the decorating part is more fun,” said Danielle Tomer, operations manager at SportCakes. “Step by Step intructions are available for preview on our website.”

The SportCakes.com line also includes NASCAR Race Cakes, NHRA Dragrace Cakes, Pennant Art, KegBags, Race Coasters, Cupcake and Cookie Toppers (which are also edible decals), Diecast Cars and Party Supplies. SportCakes products are available through about 500 sports-related stores across the country and through the www.sportcakes.com web site.

“The tradition of football brings a lot of people together,” Lisa Rentz observed, “and I think this cake is one of the best ways to celebrate it.” Everyone who bakes a Sportscake is eligible to win a free refill kit by submitting a photo of their finished cake to Sportcakes.com.
