Recently, I've been thinking that "The Holidays" should be stretched out to the end of the football season. Why not? Family and friends continue to gather together, lots of food is prepared, leftover spiced eggnog and beer flow heartily, and fun sweet treats still indulge our hearts and stomachs as we ween ourselves off the daily sugar dose we started Halloween night.
A few weeks ago I made this cake for a loyal Texans fan celebrating his birthday. Maybe it was an omen, maybe a premonition, or maybe a cake decorated with the Texans logo brought the football players luck, but this season Houston's team has made it to the playoffs!
Now, my team is the Oregon Ducks. I know... college (I hear you sighing). But they are my alma mater and at the risk of upsetting Notre Dame fans, especially my Uncle Chris, I think we can all agree they should've been in the championship game last night. I'm not biased in the least. Not at all. No way. My opinion is strictly based on football fashion. Whichever team plays with the most variety of game day ensembles - wins. But I digress...
As we wrap up this holiday season with the Super Bowl don't forget to serve up a slice of victory cake to go with those nachos!
With Texan Spirit,
Connie
