Cardinals Baseball Cap Cake
This was my second attempt working with fondant. I used MMF. The cake was for my father's 69th birthday. I didn't have time for the bill of the cap to dry using fondant alone, so I used a piece of cardboard covered with fondant for a stonger bill. Next time, I may try to use gumpaste for making the bill of the cap. It is a 6 inch cake that is topped with a half of a ball pan cake. This cake made about 10 servings. If I need more servings in the future, I will put it on a home plate shaped cake.
That is the best ball cap cake I've seen to date!!! Do you mind if I ask you how you did the bill? If you could PM me, I'd appreciate it. Great Job!!!!
If I saw this on a table, I might accidentally try it on. It definitely does not look amateur. Absolutely great job!
WHOOO HOOOO!!!! We are big Card fans here in St. Louis! GREAT JOB!!!!! It looks so real!!!!
This is so awesome! I love it!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the kind comments. My father is such a huge Cards fan that I HAD to try and make this for him. LOL For the bill, I just cut a piece of cardboard in the shape of the bill from an actual cap. Then I bent it to hold the shape, and then covered it with MMF. Then I used the Wilton cutter/embosser tool and used the wheel that makes stitching. Then I just freehanded four rows of that. HTHs
If the Cards win the world series this year, I might make a cake like this so my husband can take it to work. You did a great job! ;)
This cake is great
Thanks! I made MMF for this cake, so I colored it while making the fondant. I used shortening to help make the fondant easier to handle, which ended up giving it a more shiny appearance.
Awesome! Simply Awesome! Can I ask how you got it so shiny? Was the fondant colored before or after you put it on? I'm new at the fondant so am probably asking dumb questions. Thanks
what a great job! it looks just like a real hat!!
