Four - 9" x 1" rounds of Lemon cake where baked and cooled. The layers where cut into a hand shape by laying my left hand over the cake and carefully cutting out the shape with my right hand. Next the layers were filled with Raspberry compote.
A divot was cut out of the palm, making a place for a baseball. The cake was crumb coated with whipped chocolate and chilled several hours before applying brown fondant, creating a baseball mitt.
The mitt was returned to refrigerator to chill, while I frosted and trimmed the base cake.
White buttercream and a grass tip was used for a "field" texture. The baseball was made of cake ball and covered in whipped chocolate and then yellow fondant. Again I got to use my stitch maker for the ball marking (first used in a previous post for baseball roses).
The message was cut from FFM fancy alphabet cutters.
Happy Birthday Ashton!
