WVU Football Helmet Cake

So, I've decided that this is one of my favorite cakes so far!  I made this for my dad's birthday, and anyone that knows us knows we are slightly hardcore WVU fans.  Haha.  So here is what I came up with.

The "field" part of the cake is a chocolate sheet cake covered with buttercream.  The helmet is made from two 6-inch round cakes and half of the sports ball pan.  I stacked them, froze them, and then carved them.  I covered the helmet with fondant.

The face mask is made from gum paste.  And even though I know I'm supposed to mold it and let it dry and NOT touch it until it's ready, I kept playing with it so it cracked a little. :/  Haha.

But still, one of my favorites.  I loved this cake. =]
