I did this softball cake for a friend’s daughter. She was turning 9 and she loved playing softball. I started with a 13×9″ sheet cake. I used a small glass bowl for the softball and baked two of them. Then I shaved it down and placed them together.
I then started the icing process. I used brown for the baseball diamond and green drop flowers for the grass since I didn’t have a grass tip at the time. I smoothed icing around the sides and then used a flat basket-weave tip to do the fence and let it come up over the grass a bit.
I used small drop flowers for the softball and then included her age in the middle of it. I finished up by adding some small flowers( since this cake was for a girl) on the top of the cake and around the sides in between the fence.
It turned out really nice and she loved it!
Going to try this for my granddaughter’s 11 birthday. Not sure how to do the ball, think I’m going to use a big muffin pan.
