Baseball Hat

If your eight-year-old eats, sleeps and breathes baseball, this cake is for him or her. Invite a group of baseball fans to play a few innings. Then serve up some ballpark dogs and popcorn, and cap off the party with this hat cake.

WHAT YOU NEED
1 baked 8-inch round cake
1 dome cake (baked in a 1 1/2-quart bowl or 6-inch sphere)
3 cups frosting (blue and red)
Red shoestring licorice
1 red gumdrop
Red M&M's

WHAT YOU DO
Cut the 8-inch cake so that it is shaped like a brim and arrange it next to the bowl cake. Frost the hat blue and the brim red. Add shoestring licorice to the crown with a gumdrop button. Outline your child's initial in M&M's.
