Baseball Cake

For Ryan's "smash cake" I made a baseball by baking a Funfetti cake mix in a Pampered Chef Classic Batter Bowl (bake for 70-75 minutes), then shaped it a little with a bread knife and frosted with vanilla frosting. The laces are Rips Whips that I snipped and stuck into the frosting and it's all anchored with some buttercream "turf".  I loved being able to use the "You are Special Today" red plate that has been a tradition in my family since we were little.

Want to know what Ryan did with the cake? See video and photos below. He really digs in the last 30 seconds, so you can skip the singing if you want!
