Detroit Tigers Baseball Cake...Lets Go Tigers!!

My son just loves the Detroit Tigers! The kid lives and breathes Detroit Tigers.

Last year for his birthday we took him to a game, and I made him a sheet cake and decorated it all in Tigers Logos and etc.

Well, this year he wanted a "better" Detroit Tigers baseball cake, as he called it. So I went to work to make an amazing birthday cake just for him!

I decided I could make a baseball easy enough so I went to work creating a round cake, chocolate of course, as its his favorite.

It turned out just too cute! I decorated it to look like a baseball, and even put the correct Detroit D Logo on the front of the cake.

As I sat there looking at it, I knew it needed something more, but wasn't sure what. My husband walked by and said "you know it would be really neat if you could make a baseball hat."

"That's it!"... I thought to myself. So a few hours and a lot of mistakes later, I got the hat shaped perfectly and frosted it in bright Detroit Orange!

My husband piped in the hat lines for me as I really know nothing about baseball hats. I then added the Detroit D to the front of hat... and wala... I had the most amazing 2 baseball birthday cakes ever.

I added them to a piece of cardboard that I had covered in green sheet paper to look like grass. Decorated it all up nice and fancy, wrote a small happy birthday message on the edge of the baseball hat cake, then sat back and watched my child go crazy over his birthday cake this year!

Boy oh boy, I have no clue how I am going to top this next year, but for this year I am one very proud Mama and he is one very happy little boy!
