Sports Theme Birthday Party
 Boys and girls are sure to love a party themed with their favorite sports.
We chose a Football/Baseball theme, but Kelly, the Quick-and-Easy-Recipes Party Planner, gives you some great ideas on how to make this work with your child's favorite sport as well.
The Cake is home made, I used a football mold to make the football shaped cake, I believe it is a Wilton mold, The football cake sits atop a 9 X 13 cake covered in white frosting and tinted coconut. This is how the cake looked before Joshy stuck his finger in it.
