Today we're showcasing sport-themed cake designs. They are made by one of our loyal readers, who brought these fantastic baseball and rugby football cake recipes to our last party (number 32).

Rugby Ball Cake
They look really great. What creative cake designs for any boy or man to get as a birthday cake!
And, it's not just looks. The recipe sounds pretty yummy also! Plus, with ingredients like crushed pineapple and real pumpkin puree, they're healthier than your regular kinda cake. I can't wait to try out the recipe.
Healthy Rugby Ball Cake Recipe
On the inside its really a pineapple cake.
Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix
1 cup crushed pineapple
1 cup real pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp vanilla or almond extract (or a combo)
2 eggs
Cake-making Instructions
Blend well and bake according to the box.Tip on oven heat vs. time:
If you are making a cake in a deep pan or bowl, bake at 325 instead of the standard 350. It will definitely take longer, but this reduces the risk of the cake ending up over-cooked on the outside and still runny on the inside. The baseball cake in the photo took over an hour this way.
Decorate with homemade chocolate icing and a little green coconut grass!(note: I am posting this recipe here as I don't want it to go to wasteDomesticdeadline.blogspot.com appears to have become an abandoned blog.)
