Other:	Ingredients:
Time: 4 hours Difficulty: Pretty easy Serving Size: ALOT of cake!	3 boxes of cake mix; 2 boxes of Wilton whipped icing; 1 box of Wilton fondant; Beer of your choice
Preparation:
Make your "A" and handles the night before out of the fondant. You could also mix up your icing the night before.
Instructions:
-Bake your cakes in a square sheet cake pan and let them cool (this took three boxes of cake mix by the way, one box per layer). -Stack them and ice everything but the top. -Carve out a square (leave enough room around the sides to prevent the beer from breaking through). -Ice the top and the inside of the square. -Empty beer bottles of your choice and put the caps back on (you could also do cans, just punch a hole in the bottom and empty them so they stay unopened on the top). It's your choice as to what you do with the beer you emptied out . Place the bottles in the square. -Put the jello in and around the bottles. -Place the "A" on the front and handles on the sides (you can use toothpicks). -You can pipe grass along the sides like I did, just get a piping bag and the Wilton grass tip. I think that's it, if I forgot anything let me know...there are a few things I would do differently next time. I needed more ice (jello) to put in the cooler, and I ran out of icing before I could ice the inside of the square. Other than that I was pretty happy. This is the first time I've done anything like this cake, and I wanted to share it with fellow Bama fans. My husband LOVED it!
