Bridal Shower Grand Slam!!!

This pair of soon-to-be bride and groom love their sports, so we came up with these "cake balls" for a playful bridal shower.  Footballs, basketballs, and baseballs surround a blushing bride and groom sporting baseball wedding attire (all hand-tailored). The groom and footballs have chocolate cake inside, and the bride, basketballs, and baseballs contain "deWishes" butter cake!






Side view of bride & groom: note the stitching on the groom's baseball cap and the couple's adorable profiles.  The thread on the baseballs were hand-stitched and all the balls were handmade without the use of molds.








Aerial view: shows sample monogram on groom's baseball cap.  The bows on the bride's pigtails are pearlized and set with a pearl.






Back View: shows the pearlized gleam of the bride's veil and the sheen of the groom's cap.   From any angle, this union is a Grand Slam, a Touchdown, and a Slam Dunk all in one!  CONGRATULATIONS to the happy couple!!!
