The Baseball Cake That Anyone Can Make -

For my son’s fourth birthday, we decided to throw a baseball themed party. I am not a baker by any means but I love decorating the birthday cakes for my boys and they really do look forward to it every year.

This baseball cake is so easy, you’ll be sure to knock it out of the ballpark.

What you will need:

2 round cake pans

Parchment Paper

Box of Cake Mix

3 jars of Frosting

Red Food Coloring

Piping Bag and thin round tip (you can also use a store bought icing tub or replace the piping bag with a resealable bag

Trace the round pans onto parchment paper, cut out and line bottom of the the pans.

Make cake batter as directed on box and pour equally into the two pans.

Bake the cake until a knife or toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely (about 2 hours).

Using a serrated knife, level the top of one of the cakes then place on a board or plate for icing.

Ice the first cake (cut side up) covering the entire top surface. I used one jar of icing for this step.

Top the first cake with the second cake and ice top and sides. I used one jar of icing for this step.

Mix red food coloring with a small amount of remaining icing. Fill a piping bag or resealable bag and attach a small round tip. If you do not have these materials, most grocery stores have prepackaged icing bags that work great.

First, draw the two curved lines with a toothpick. Next, using your red icing, draw the lines on the top of the cake continuing over the sides. Then, add the angled lines to form the seams.

That’s it! You’ve got yourself a baseball cake and officially hit a home run with this one.

Now add some candles and make a wish!
