The Game Can Wait, Feast Your Eyes On These 17 Super Bowl Cakes Instead (2024)

Game on, bakers. Super Bowl LVII will be here on February 12, 2023. And even if you’ve already finalized your menu and picked your dips, these Super Bowl cakes are sure to throw a wrench in those plans. Or football. Or it’s back, if it’s anything like us.

From confections shaped like footballs, to scenes portraying the stadium, to NFL team-specific designs, you’re about to be up to your ears in football cakes.

Whether your Super Bowl plans involve chilling on the couch watching anything but the game, or scrolling TikTok until Rihanna’s halftime show, these cakes will be a welcome addition. If nothing else, they’ll provide a reprieve from things dipped in mustard. It’s the little things.

17 Super Bowl Cakes For America’s Favorite Sunday

1. Striped Super Bowl Cake

This cake is a real touchdown. Now we have icing on our hands! Great!

2. Football Cake

This cake is so lifelike, we can practically smell the leather from here. We’re only a little bitter that the design makes it impossible for us to slyly scoop up a taste of icing while no one’s watching.

3. Baby Shower Super Bowl Cake

If you’ve got a Tom Brady in the oven, this football-themed baby shower cake is the perfect choice. He’s still hiding from Gisele, huh?

4. Football Play Cake

It seems like the person this Super Bowl cake is for doesn’t know how Tic Tac Toe works. Some people just don’t get it.

5. Super Bowl Halftime Cake

If the halfway point means not only Rihanna, but also a slice of this cake topped with chocolate-dipped strawberries, we have to agree. Hurry up, boys.

6. Super Bowl Drip Cakes

These football cakes can be customized to the color of whichever teams are playing this year. So…pink? Ah, a swing and a miss. There we go, mixing our sports metaphors again.

7. Super Bowl Sheet Cake

This sheet cake plays the role of “field,” and the chocolate-covered strawberries are in the supporting positions of “footballs.” We’re not experts, but we’re pretty sure there’s only one football allowed on the field at one time. Oh, was that a touchdown? Guess we’ll have to eat this one.

8. Team Mascot Cake

Take this design inspiration and create your own cake for two teams that are playing in the 2023 Super Bowl. Or, as a birthday cake for your niece who loves the zoo and Joe Burrow’s long passes. Win win!

Well, except for the Bengals and Rams.

9. White Super Bowl Cake

When your birthday collides with a National Holiday, your cake has to share real estate, too. At least you don’t have to prepare your own snacks.

10. Stadium Cake

The little sprinkles represent people. And, the cake designer added lines to show where to cut the slices. We’ll take yards 50 to 70, please.

11. Giant Football Cake

In this take on a Super Bowl cake, the world is ending and giant footballs are falling from the sky. One point: giants. Zero points: Giants.

12. Abstract Super Bowl Cake

This cake is so cute we almost forgot the game was on. No no, our attention span has nothing to do with that.

13. Three-Tier Super Bowl Cake

If your family treats the Super Bowl like a religion, this cake pays appropriate homage. Did someone remember to bring the ladder so we can cut into this thing?

14. Football Cakesicles

Once Starbucks finds out about football cake pops, it’s all over for our bank accounts.

15. Super Bowl Cake

Football and cake go together like tennis and chocolate chip cookies. If you have to ask, you’ll never know.

16. Pink Super Bowl Cake

Inquiring minds need to know: what happens after kickoff?

17. Star Wars Football Cake

We’re not sure if we get it, but we love it all the same. Anyone else want to change the channel and binge-watch the Star Wars movies instead?
