Hi!
Our Youth Pastor Dan's Birthday was actually today, so I volunteered to make the "cake". These are simple yellow cupcakes, from a box, and chocolate buttercream made from scratch. I went with cupcakes so they'd be easy to serve and I used the Cricut Cake to cut the fondant. I tinted the fondant orange to get close to the Giant's colors, I was happy the Giants don't have a fancy design included with their name. The cupcake in "A's" color is for Gabe, another youth leader, who is a die hard A's fan, and well, we wouldn't want him to not be able to eat a cupcake. I used cake coloring straight from the bottle to color in the stitches on the baseballs using a food safe paint brush. One planning error was not making any orange buttercream or royal icing to stick the S & F together, I ended up using the orange in a tube frosting, not the best choice. I'll plan better next time. Cartridges used were: Sports Mania for the base ball, San Seriff for the S & F and the A's, Mickey Font for everything else. This Thursday the youth group is going to watch a Giant's game, that should be fun.
