Cincinnati Reds Birthday Cake - 625F

The two tier cake is covered with MMF. The top tier is white cake with Italian buttercream filling and the bottom tier is chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling. The baseball on top is rice krispies covered in fondant and then using an edible red marker, I drew on the stitching. The baseball diamond is created with fondant and then brown sugar was sprinkled on the brown fondant to give the appearance of dirt. The logo is created using paper cutouts that I printed off of the computer and then traced on fondant. The baseball players around the sides are created the same way. The baseball pattern on the bottom tier is created by puzzling together round circles that I cut out of fondant with a cookie cutter. I then used the cookie cutter to cut off edges of the ball so they would have the same arch and fit together. I then using an edible red marker again drew on the baseball stitching. The baseballs sitting around the bottom of the first tier were created with 50/50 gumpaste fondant and then when dry, I drew the stitching on. Sorry, the photo is a little fuzzy as I didn't realize that the camera was out of focus!
