A life-sized cake of Detroit Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown in a headstand celebration is on display at The Home Bakery in Rochester, Michigan. The cake honors a touchdown celebration from a Nov. 3 game against the Green Bay Packers. Local resident Stacey Hegenberg said, "I think it's great. I can't believe it. I heard about it. My father heard about it and wanted to drive by and see it and I can't believe it's cake. It's a great site to see," according to CBS News Detroit.

A longtime bakery is showing its support for the Detroit Lions ahead of a critical game against the Minnesota Vikings by creating a Lions-themed cake. Owner Heather Tocco, who admires coach Dan Campbell’s leadership, said, "He's inspirational, the way he talks about his team. I think there's a lot to be learned whether you're a business owner or a coach from him" The cake took 160 hours to make, and Tocco noted, "Everything you see is edible." The display is intended to attract more customers during the slow season. The bakery owner also mentioned, "It'll definitely be up after we win the Super Bowl," as stated by The Detroit News.

Local reactions have been positive, with people supporting the bakery’s display. One man said, "This is awesome to see," and a woman added, "It’s awesome to see local shops support the lions…let’s go to the Super Bowl." The display shows the community's support for the Lions as they aim for the playoffs, as reported by WLNS
