Happy Birthday Michael!

Michael is Nicholas’ (Sweet Land of Liberty) older brother, and a drum student of my husband.  When his mom contacted me about his birthday, she noted he was a big sports fan – particularly of the Twins or Gophers and asked if I could incorporate one of those organizations into his cake. 

I decided on a baseball cap, accompanied by a large cake truffle to look like a baseball.  


There are a lot of small details on this cake that I’m really happy with from the stitching to the eyelets, to the rumples in the top (a perfectly round hat wouldn’t look realistic), to the adjustable back with his birthday age/number, to the “dirtied” baseball (brushed with cocoa powder).  I hope I get an opportunity to make more baseball cap cakes in the future.  This was a blast to make!
Enjoying the Cake



 More coming your way soon!

Thanks for reading,
