Towel Cake

How do you decorate a cake like the “Terrible Towel”?
My boyfriend is a HUGE Steelers fan and since I’m back in school and can’t afford much for his birthday I wanted to back a cake and decorate the cake like the Terrible Towel. I don’t have any experience in Cake Decorating so any advice would be helpful. Thanks!!!

It looks like fondant, you can get that at wal mart in the crafts section, with black writing on it. You can get stenciled to help you write around it with black icing. I assume that’s kind of the idea you wanna go? I don’t know if that’s Steelers but it’s what I googled. To make the football cake:
Ingredients
* 1 box (19.5 ounces) chocolate cake mix
* 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 1/2 cup marshmallow cream (such as Fluffernut®)
* 10 chocolate sandwich with vanilla filling cookies (such as Oreos®)
* 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
* 1 can (16 ounces) milk chocolate frosting
* ½ cup white canned frosting
Cooking Instructions
1. Melt chocolate and let cool.
2. Make 9-inch round cake according to manufacterer’s directions, adding the melted chocolate with the eggs.
3. Bake cake according to manufacterer’s directions. Cool.
4. Filling: In a bowl beat butter, marshmallow cream, and caramel sauce, scraping down side of bowl as needed, until combined. Add cookies and mix to combine.Fill cake.
5.
Cut and remove ½-inch-by-9-inch rectangle from the middle of the cake.
6. Glaze: Remove aluminum top from from frosting. Microwave 30 seconds on high. Stir to combine until smooth.
7. Leaving the cake on the cooling rack, place the rack on a jelly roll pan. Reserve ½ cup frosting. Pour the remaning melted frosting over the cake to cover. Pour reserved frosting over removed rectangle. Let frosting glaze set completely.
8. To make the laces and markings pipe white frosting through a recloseable plastic bag whose corner has been cut or through a pastry bag with a small tip.
Substitution(s)
* Any cake mix can be used – just don’t add the 2 ounces of unsweetened chocolate.
* Any canned frosting can be used in place of the homemade filling.
