We made it to the World Series, so let's eat cake! The Baseball Hat replica cake is an 8-inch four layer Spice cake. We found that making two cakes, splitting both, and frosting the four layers makes a good sized cake for a hat. We wanted the cake to be a realistic size. Covering an 8-inch cake is not too difficult, however, covering a larger cake such as the jersey cake is a little more tricky and requires two people. For the Jersey replica cake, we made a double layer 13x9 Chocolate cake. We made an extra cake so we could cut out the sleeves. We made fondant and rolled it out smooth. We always make our fondant; store-bought fondant does not taste very good and making your own is more cost-effective. To see our fondant recipe, check out our Cat Cake post on October 15th. We placed one large piece of fondant to cover half of the cake, and another to cover the other half. This made it easier working with two pieces rather than one large piece that can easily rip. Also, we think it made a cool look as though it is a button-up jersey. Let's Go Giants!!
