Not for the Athletically Challenged!

This was a unique two tiered cake made for cousins on their Confirmation. One plays baseball and the other, golf. The top tier includes a baseball diamond with a golf flag on the pitcher's mound. The bottom tier represented the golf course.

This cake was a 1/2 sheet cake covered in hand-painted fondant to resemble a hardwood basketball court. The fondant figure was modeled after the 2 year old birthday boy. His name and age completed the jersey.
