Are you ready for the big game?  We’re planning our annual football party for the big game next weekend and I’ve found the best dessert to serve.  I know you all have heard of Carvel® before but did you know they have a Carvel® Game Ball® Ice Cream Cake?

Can you ever go wrong with an ice cream cake?

And, what do you need with a gorgeous, delicious football ice cream cake?  You need a Football Cake Stand.  Not only is this a football cake stand – it’s a super Easy DIY Football Cake Stand that you can make in 15 minutes.

Materials needed:

• Wood board
• Green paint
• Round glass vase
• Football Field {Free Printable} – print two copies
• Double-sided tape
• Glue gun and glue stick

Step 1: Paint wood board.

Step 2:  Use double sided tape to wrap glass vase with printed football field. (Turn vase upside down)

Step 3:  Attach wood board to bottom of vase using your handy dandy glue gun.

That’s it!  You can make this cute and easy Football Stand in THREE easy steps.

Now, all you have to do is place your Carvel® Ice Cream Cake on your gorgeous cake stand and you have the perfect dessert to serve while watching the big game.  I also added a few drops of green coloring to a bowl of shredded coconut and sprinkled it around the cake to make it look more festive.

How fabulous does this Carvel® Game Ball® Ice Cream Cake look?

Can you resist an ice cream cake made with layers of vanilla and chocolate ice cream, chocolate crunchies and fresh whipped frosting?  I know I can’t and I’m pretty sure my friends won’t be able to resist a slice of this ice cream cake while watching the big game.
