Giants Baseball





 










"Who are we?.... Giants!  Who are we?... Giants!  Who are we?... Giants!  WE ARE... GIANTS!"  The season is already coming to an end, which means it's time for the team party,... and cake!  For the cap, I stacked 3 layers of cake and went at it with a knife, carving it into a hat shape.  This takes a lot of time and patience to get it all symmetrical.  Then I formed the bill out of fondant, and added "stitching" indentions for realism.  The main cake is covered in green icing to look like a field of grass.  I love how it turned out, but can I just say.... "OUCH!"  After piping that many blades of grass, my little Giant player owes me a hand massage.  : )  Then I placed fondant baseballs, with each players name and jersey number, around the sides.  They were the first things the boys ate.  Now for my favorite part of the cake,...  the name on the back of the cap,...  Coach Bill.  Dedicated.  Genuine.  Funny.  Supportive.  Weatherman.  Teacher.  Crazy socks.  Friend.  Motivator.  Just a GREAT guy.  Here's to a fun season, with an amazing group of kids, families, and coaches.  Go GIANTS!
