Baseball Diamond
- Decorate the cake with a giant baseball diamond. Create a baseball diamond on a traditional square sheet cake using frosting that has been colored light brown with food coloring, or use crushed graham crackers to give a more realistic look of dirt. Add white icing in the appropriate areas to act as the bases. Make the cake in the shape of a baseball diamond easily do by cutting the corners off a sheet cake. Frost the sides of the cake with green-colored frosting to represent grass.
Baseball Player Figurines
- Although you could draw little baseball players onto the cake, if you are not that skilled with cake decorating it is easier to add plastic figurine. At least one figurine should be holding a bat, ready to hit. Add the figurines to your baseball diamond cake, putting one at each base. If you can find a whole baseball team, use them for the cake, then rinse off and give to your child to keep and play with.
Baseball Uniform
- Create a cake with the jersey of the birthday girl's favorite player or favorite team on it. A baseball jersey is fairly simple to make a on square cake. Cover it with white frosting and draw the stripes with a gel icing. Use the same icing to add the name and number on the jersey as well. Instead of the team or favorite player, use the name of the child whose birthday it is. Another idea is a baseball hat cake. You can find baseball hat cake molds at specialty kitchen stores. Copy the hat of the favorite team as best as you can, but add the first initial of the celebrant's name on the hat in chocolate-coated candy.
Baseball Essentials
- Make a circle shaped cake into a baseball by adding white frosting and red gel icing to create the lines on the baseball. If you want a more raised, 3D look to the cake, use the mold you used to create the baseball hat and just fill in the dome part. The cake will look more like it is halfway in the ground and halfway exposed. Add the name and birthday message if it fits in red as well to keep with the baseball look. Create a baseball glove cake by carving square or rectangle cakes to look like the finger and thumb inside a glove. Cover with dark brown icing and line the glove with black gel icing.
