Baseball Diamond and Glove Cakes

These yellow baseball themed cakes were made for a little boy's first birthday party.  They were both cut from a 9x13 cake pan, and the diamond is decorated with green, chocolate, and white buttercream icing while the glove is decorated with dark brown, light brown, white, and red buttercream icing.   It is difficult to tell from the pictures, but the pitchers mound on the diamond and the baseball on the glove are both raised higher than the rest of the cake.  Likewise the stitching between the fingers of the glove is recessed to give the cake added demission.  The cost of the cakes is as follows:

Baseball Diamond:
Buttercream icing per batch: $2.55 x 1.75 = $4.46
Yellow Cake: $1.93
Wrapping and Plating $4.88
Labor: $6 per hour x 2.5 = $15
Total: $26.27

Ball and Glove:
Buttercream icing per batch: $2.55 x 2 = $5.10
Yellow Cake: $1.93
Wrapping and Plating $4.88
Labor: $6 per hour x 2.25 = $13.50
Total: $25.41
