Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 350*.
In a mixing bowl, mix the cake mix with the Dr Pepper.
Pour cake mix evenly into 2 greased 9 inch round pans.
Bake in the oven per the box instructions for the cake mix.
Once the cakes are done, carefully remove and let them cool.
While they are cooling, boil 1 cup of water on the stove and then whisk in the gelatin.
Whisk in an additional 1 cup of cold water.
With a fork, poke both of the cakes evenly throughout.
Pour the liquid gelatin evenly over each cake.
Place the cakes in the fridge for 2 hours to gel.
Carefully remove the cakes from the fridge, shaping them on a tray into the football shape. This can be done by using one of the round cakes then trimming the additional round cake to fit the ends of the football. Do this with both cakes.
Using the chocolate icing, fully frost the cake.
Use the white writing icing to create the laces on the football.
Serve.
