For all you Baseball Lovers out there....

....this one's for you!!!


I made this one for my son's 2nd birthday! He had this cute little Gap baseball cap that he wore EVERYWHERE!!! So, I decided to make it into a cake. Not until I finished the hat portion did I realize I had about enough cake to feel him, alone. So. Quickly I made up some cupcakes and decided to use them in the cake theme. I just frosted them white and used red gel frosting and made "baseball stitching". I wasn't sure at first how it would turn out, but I was glad I did. It made the cake perfect! I really love the way this one turned out.

side note. To get that rich blue color I used about 14 cups of blue dye. Every one's mouths turned blue. It was quite amusing to watch. hehe

  1. Love this! I did this for Zack one year and used m&m's to make a letter Z on the cap. I also used pull and peel licorice for the laces. Just another idea. Your hat turned out SUPER great! Love it!!!

  2. I made this same [er similar] cake for Mason's 3rd birthday.

    You will not ever see pictures of that cake, ever. Let's just say it's a good thing it tasted better than it looked!!
