Baseball is one of the few things that is truly American in origin.
The first competition using the rules that have evolved into today s sport of baseball was organized by Alexander Cartwright in New York at Elysian Fields on June 19, 1846. Whichever legend appeals to you, the game of baseball probably marks its birthday in June. If you re planning a celebration of your favorite team s greatest win or best effort or just want to celebrate your favorite sport, a baseball cap cake would fit the bill. Bake as directed and cool briefly, then remove from pans and finish cooling on a rack. Cut a crescent shape from the layer and place in front of the dome shape to create the cap.
