We both love the NY Yankees, so it was very exciting that our first order was Yankees themed. It was for a little boys' birthday. The cake was vanilla which we torted and filled with a delicious strawberry filling. We whipped up buttercream icing. After we iced the cake, we used the paper towel method to perfect the look. I found this method online, it worked so well. You need to let the cake crust then after about 15 minutes, place a Viva paper towel on the cake, since it has no pattern, then with your hand or a fondant smoother, use it to smooth the cake out. It worked beautifully.
We then cut out the Yankees NY symbol out of navy blue fondant which we placed on the center of the cake. Also, we cut a baseball shape, in white fondant, to which we lined with the red stitches and piped the message. Using the navy fondant again, we made thin strips to make the pinstripe effect and placed them around the cake. We piped stars in navy and white around the cake. We both love this cake. GO YANKEES.
