Cool Homemade Baseball Birthday Cake and Grass Cupcakes

I made this Baseball Birthday Cake for my son’s 2nd birthday. I looked at a lot of cakes on your website for ideas and combined them with my imagination and some instructions that came with my cake pan.

It was a Duncan Hines pan my Aunt gave me. She was going to sell it in a garage sale and I nabbed it. The cake is chocolate from a mix and the icing is buttercream from a recipe I got off a Wilton pan. I iced the cake and smoothed out the frosting as best I could. After I got the frosting on I ran the knife under hot water and smoothed it out. The stitches are pull apart twizzlers.

The cupcakes are also a mix and the frosting on them is canned green frosting I bought at Christmas time. I drew the little baseballs in paint and printed them at home, taped them back to back over toothpicks. One cupcake was stolen before the picture was taken. I had fun making it and everyone seemed to enjoy eating it. Although the my little niece had green poop for a couple of days from eating too many cupcakes. That was a funny story.
