Homemade NY Yankees Cake

I surprised my son with a NY Yankees cake for his 8th birthday. I thought it would be difficult. I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of this cake. I made my favorite cake in 2 9inch round pans. I stacked and frosted it. I added blue dye to buttercream (I ran out and it's not as dark as it should be). I piped the edges of the cake with this. And added lines top to bottom as well.

I went online and printed off the logo and traced it onto the top with a tooth pick. I then filled the outline in with the blue frosting. In retrospect I wished I had traced it onto blue fondant instead. Oh well what's done is done. Finally I took a can of white frosting and piped long white roll like things all around the bottom making it look like the infamous hat.

My husband and son were both very impressed.

Very Impressive!

I HAVE to use this idea for my son's 13th birthday, but I'd use a smaller logo so I can pipe Happy Birthday Corey underneath the logo. This is a really cool cake; it looks both simple and impressive at the same time! I was wondering how I was going to find a stencil for the logo-neat idea printing it out and tracing it with a toothpick. Thank you SO much for sharing!
