DH loves baseball-especially the St. Louis Cardinals. I decorated this in a hurry the night before his birthday and after we had gotten home from delivering and setting up a wedding cake and groom's cake.

It's Devilish Good Chocolate Cake (from Chocolate Cake Mix Doctor), with Chocolate Syrup Frosting. I used a bit of the wedding cake batter to make the ball in half of the sports ball pan, covered with fondant, buttercream "stitches". The candles are baseball bats.
