Last week, a Rochester, Michigan bakery got some attention for its creation of a life-size cake honoring Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and his headstand touchdown celebration from back in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers.

The project by Heather Tocco and her team at Home Bakery has drawn crowds of customers and national media attention to the business. Tocco told The Detroit News, about the cake, that "everything you see is edible."

And, of course, St. Brown has noticed too. During this week's episode of the St. Brown Bros. podcast, posted on Wednesday morning, St. Brown talked about the cake.

"When I first saw it I was like, 'no way,'" St. Brown said. "The attention to detail is ridiculous. People were sending me on Instagram, DMing me, my friends were texting me ... I'm like this is crazy."

St. Brown started the podcast episode by teasing a special announcement he would be making later in the show.

When the time came, he said he's going to see the cake honoring him in person and there's something special attached to his appearance.

"I’m checking it out next week in person. I do want to see what it tastes like, too. I need a slice or something, but in honor of the Home Bakery in Rochester, Michigan, I will be giving away two home playoff tickets to our divisional round next week. So (to) win a chance to attend our divisional round playoff game next weekend all you need to do is purchase any item at Home Bakery—a cake shop in Rochester, Michigan—between January 13 and January 16 to enter the contest. The winner will be announced Friday the 17th.”

The winner, decided by a random raffle, will get both tickets to the Lions' Divisional Round game.

St. Brown is giving back big-time to recognize a local business, with a public appearance and a nice tie-in to get even more local Lions' fans to check it out.
