Home run for God.....

Now for the second cake. This cake I made for my Godson's First Holy Communion. He's a pitcher, a great baseball player and a great kid. So he deserved something cool, not a stuffy communion cake. This was such a fun cake to make since I've never done a baseball hat or a book OR a boys cake- I have 3 daughters! I tried to personalize many of the little aspects, the hat has his initials, the bible is titled for the first communion, the Phillies bookmark, date, etc. The hat is carved cake covered in fondant, the brim is gumpaste. The bible is a 9x13 cake covered in fondant and the letters are hand painted with gold highlighter dust. The cake board I covered in fondant with all hand cut fondant details and baseball field. The baseball is rice krispy treats covered in fondant then smoothed with sponges for a half hour! Hand painted with edible pens. The baseball rosary is real, one of my gifts to Charles. All cake was chocolate chip with vanilla bean swiss meringue buttercream.
