Baseball Stadium Cake
-
Go all out with a wedding cake made to resemble the home stadium of your favorite team. If you or your fiancé is or was the pitcher for a local team, then consider having a cake designed to mimic the look of that field. One option for this type of cake is a bird's eye view of the field; when you stand over the top of the cake, you will see all facets of the stadium, including the field, the players and even the people in the stands. Alternatively, you can opt for a more basic view that shows only the field itself decorated with figures made to resemble you and your fiancé. Arrange a pitcher in the center of the field and set figurines representing you and your partner on home plate.
Baseball Jersey
-
Baseball jersey-style cakes can be made from standard sheet cakes. The baker cuts around the outside of the cake, trimming off its edges to give the cake a jersey shape. The cake is then decorated with frosting or fondant to give it the look of a baseball jersey, including the logo of the team. Ask for your shared name to grace the top of the jersey where the player's name is usually found.

Edible Baseballs

For a more elegant and unique pitcher-styled wedding cake, design a cake that features an edible baseball. Ask the baker to roll a cereal treat into a baseball shape, cover it in white fondant and add red stripes to the ball shape. Depending on the style of your cake, the baker may opt to create only half of the ball's shape or form the ball from frosting or another edible material. The baseball can sit right on the top of the wedding cake.
Baseball Cake Toppers
-
Opt for a bride and groom pitcher and catcher wedding topper that shows how well you work together as a couple. Toppers of this type usually feature the groom as the pitcher and the wife as the batter or catcher. If you're using a professional baker, then ask about handmade toppers. Consider having figures made to resemble you and your fiancé in baseball uniforms and having those added to the top of the cake.
