Vikings & Yankees Theme

The base of this cake started out as a sheet cake, which is covered in white fondant and navy blue fondant stripes to look like a yankees jersey. The second layer is a half a sheet cake covered in deep purple fondant with fondant numbers and jersey necklines and lines to match the Minnesota Vikings jersey, it was then placed caddy cornered on top of the sheet cake. On the open corners I sculpted fondant in the shape of a ball and bat and then the yankees logo. It also has the sports enthusiasts favorite players on both jerseys as well. The top Vikings helmet was formed from 8" round layers piled high and I then carved out a place for the head and rounded it off. I used fondant/gum paste for the face mask and pushed it in with skewers. and decorated it with the numbers for the helmet.
