Baseball cake pans are the perfect beginning to your baseball lover’s birthday cake, or the little league team party cake. In this post I’ll show you the best places to get the pans you need cheap, and some tips on decorating a spherical cake.
Decorating sphere cakes can be a serious pain. There are so many places for you to mess it up it can be difficult to get started. Fear not though, with a few tips and practice you can successfully decorate a baseball cake. The first tool you need is a lazy susan since the cake will have to move around, or you’re going to have to figure out a way to move around it (no bueno!). Second, the cake has to be decorated on the plate or board that it will end up on since you can’t move it once it’s covered in icing. Third, decorate from the bottom up, using the base as a reference for your first lines. Doing this will help make sure that your lines are straight. Lastly, be sure that you trace out all of the baseball’s seams before trying to ice them. That isn’t something that you can just “wing” and have it come out well!
The most common baseball cake pan is the Wilton 3-D Sports Ball Pan Set. You’ll bake two halves of the sphere and then adhere them together with icing. The cake turns out great when it’s baked properly, and can be reused for basketball, bowling, pool, or whatever you need a sphere for.
If you’re looking for something a bit easier than decorating a sphere, you can try this CK Products Baseball Batter Pantastic Plastic Cake Pan, which is in the shape of a batter just about to hit the ball. Very cool as well, and easier to decorate than the sphere pan would be.
Also, don’t forget the Wilton Baseball Bats Candle Set for the final touch on any cake!
