Help please? I just got an order for a baby shower cake for November. This is a young woman who won one of my cake gift certificates in a raffle, for a 10" cake. She says that size is large enough, she wants fresh strawberry filling, iced with whipped cream ( I will use Pastry Pride) the expected baby is a boy and she wants a baseball theme. I seem to be out of ideas for anything new and cute. I could do fondant or gumpaste half balls and bats around the sides, but what for the top? I could do a sitting figurine of a baby in a baseball cap, or a mitt and ball. Neither really excite me. Any new and fresh ideas out there?

baby in the mitt?

babies playing ball on a diamond?

cap upside down w/ baby sleeping in it?

baby in crib made from bats for support posts at ends?

diaper on baby is pennant of the team his family HATES?

blanket on baby is pennant of team his family LOVES?

I just did a search in the gallery using the words "baseball and baby" and here is what came up. Lots of cute ideas. HTH!
