Coolest Beer Cooler and Baseball Theme Cake 7

Homemade Beer Cooler and Baseball Theme Cake
I made this Beer Cooler and Baseball Theme Cake for a friend's birthday party. The cooler, hat and baseball were all made of carrot cake.
To make the cooler, I used rectangle cake pans, then cut out a rectangle in the top layer. I then covered in fondant.
The bottles and ice are made of melted sugar. I made my own bottle mold out of my friend's favorite beer and poured the colored melted sugar into it. I poured clear melted sugar into a cookie pan and when it had hardened i broke it into pieces. I made a mold of the bottle cap and pressed tinted gumpaste into it and let it dry. All labels on the cakes are printed rice paper.
The baseball was made by taking the scrap cake, mixing it with icing and forming it into a ball. Then I dipped it into melted white chocolate, covered part of it in black fondant and used icing for the string.
The baseball cap was made by baking the cake mix in a small rounded bowl and then covering the cake in tinted fondant.
The icing used was cream cheese flavored, it was delish! Some of the labels said Hoppy Beerthday
and Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, You're older than dirt, so drown your sorrows with some brew.
