To make this cake you will need...
1 Foam board cut to size
Sports themed wrapping paper
Clear cellophane
1 Wilton Ball Pan - bake 1 cake
1 Wilton Wonder Pan or Pampered Chef's Large Glass Measuring Cup- bake 1 cake
1 Bread Pan - bake 2 cakes
Chocolate icing
1 tube of black icing
1 tube of red icing
Tips #3, 5, and 21
Directions:Step 1:Cover the cut foam board with sports themed wrapping paper and then clear cellophane.
Step 2:Make the basketball by placing the half of a ball cake onto the cake board and cover it with orange icing. Using the black icing and tip #5, pipe the lines onto the ball.
***Decorator's Tip*** To ensure accuracy in your piping, first draw the lines on the cake with a toothpick.
Step 3:- Make the football by first cutting the cake from the Wilton Wonder Mould (or Pampered Chef) in half and trim off and extra from the top. **Do not throw the trimmings away!**
- Place the cut sides down with the larger sides facing each other. You will now have something that resembles a football.
- Use the trimmings to give each end of the football more of a point.
- Ice the cake with chocolate or brown icing.
- Using tip #21 or any tip with a flat edge and white buttercream, pipe the large lines on the football. Using tip #5 and white buttercream, pipe on the stitching.
Step 4:- To make the baseball bat, place the two bread pan cakes side by side to make one long cake. You can fill these cakes if you wish.
***Decorator's Tip*** Carve the cake before you put it on the cake board.
- Cut the cake into the shape of a bat. If you are hesitant to do this, you can always draw it out on a piece of paper and use it as a template. This way you will be sure that your bat is symmetric.
- Ice the bat with tan icing. Using tip #21 and red icing, pipe on the red tape on the bat's handle. Write your message using tip #3 and black icing.
