Hello readers!
Today is such a bittersweet day, not only for me but for my boyfriend. We're both seniors at Sacred Heart University, and today marks the day as the last home football game for my boyfriends career. I know I shouldn't be as sad because I wasn't the one out there playing, but I am :( Ever since I was young, I was raised a Dallas Cowboys fan. My father taught me so much about the game, and turned me into a huge football fanatic. One of my huge requirements when looking for a college my senior year of high school, was that the school I would be attending would have to have a football team so that I could go to the games and cheer my school on.
Anyway, since freshman year at SHU I have been a huge fan of the football team here and dating one of the players just added to my love for the game and the team. Fall is one of my favorite seasons because not only does it mark the start of school but the start of football season. I have been to countless games and been my boyfriend's number one fan, and each year when the season rolls around my electric bill sky rockets because I am baking "good luck goodies" each week before my boyfriend's game. Now there's about 11 to 12 games a season, that's 11 to 12 straight weeks of baking! But I love every second of it!
So when the last home game of our senior year happened earlier today, it was a such a sad yet happy moment for both of us. Blake (my boyfriend) would step on his home field and play for the last time, and I would put on my "Sacred Heart Football" shirt I made and yell and scream for the pioneers one last time. Sadly, this would also be the last time I baked "good luck goodies" before a game.
Baking up Blake's favorite, I made a double layered chocolate cake with chocolate frosting in the middle. And decorated it with a SHU Football helmet and football, both made from rice crispy treats, frosted with vanilla frosting, and covered in fondant. I was so proud of my creation, and Blake loved it! It was still such a sad moment, but at least the cake sweetened it up!!
And here it is.. my senior day creation.
