This weekend I had an order for an 8 year old's birthday cake!!! He wanted a football cake. My initial thought was to use chocolate icing to achieve the color. NO CHOCOLATE ICING!!! *gasp* I thought about using an icing color but I was truly afraid that flavor would suffer to get it that dark...after searching the internet and racking my brain I came up with M&M's. Finished product turned out okay...next time I'll have to purchase three bags of M&M's ;-)
ps...notice the inspiration Dr. Pepper bottle in the top right corner
