Well, the original idea was to make a volcano out of the batter bowl, small batter bowl and one of the prep bowls. I saw something on this on Semi-Homemade cooking. But, the cake recipe I had was barely enough for the batter bowls half-full!
I did end up just going ahead with the volcano and it turned out great! I thought about the football, but my son is just not that into sports. Wish I would have seen the Spider-Man idea last night. That woud have been pretty cool.
