Perhaps it was the excitement of Top Design’s debut, or maybe we were too busy making Valentine’s plans, but we almost forgot about Superbowl Sunday until we received a email from a reader Nicole offering up this link to a colorful football cake. Here’s what she said: “I simply use a boxed cake mix (and a 9×13 pan), and replace the sideline Hershey/Reeses sideline names with the team names. It is always a HUGE hit at parties, and it is so much fun to decorate.” Thanks, Nicole!

This gentle reminder got us surfing around in search of more Superbowl tips. For other non-sportsfans like us, here are the basics: The Chicago Bears are playing the Indianapolis Colts on CBS at 6:45 ET this Sunday. We’ll probably tune in around 8:30 pm in hopes of catching the halftime show with Prince! Gizmodo’s Last Minute HD Supergowl Party Guide will cover your tech questions. Though we tend to agree with entertaining guru Colin Cowie, who insists that it’s the food, not the game that matters (and it’s our hunch that Colin has never watched a sports event in his life). Martha Stewart offers up a Chili Bowl buffet menu, but it you want to serve that, you better get busy! We noticed that she recommends making the Chili two to three days in advance. We say, skip the chili and go right for the cake! Over at Cakehead blog, we found this lovely collection of Superbowl cakes, and at Flickr we found a local bakery that delivers. Got any Superbowl party tips? Share here!
