Sports Baby Shower Cake

 I used Crumb Boss's Vanilla Cake recipe for this cake.  The buttercream icing (1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening) is decorated with gumpaste and fondant elements.  The Football, dots and stripes are all airbrushed with Americolor Maroon, Navy and Chocolate Brown.  The wood grain baseball bat was made with the idea from this tutorial.  The monogram was done with help from this tutorial.
