Baseball Cookie Cakes

Challenge: Create a baseball cookie cake for your little brother!

Kayla's solution: Kayla baked TWO of her layered chocolate chip cookie cakes -- both with milk chocolate frosting. On one, she created a baseball field and used stand-up players to fill the bases for a homerun with Colin! On the other, she created the image of a baseball.

Reaction: Party-goers were so excited to have one of "Kayla's cakes" (and were very protective of it while they played ball. Very little was left after 11 9-year-old boys devoured their pieces.
