Creating
Team Photo
or
Picture Cakes...
Let’s
face it kids love cake, so we should take any opportunity we have
to bring them joy.
•
Little League Baseball season
• Football season
•
Soccer season
–
A team sports photo or picture cake is a terrific way to say “Great
Season” or to motivate the kids for the start of a new season. Here’s
how you can make their photo or picture cake special…
The
picture cake decoration shown here was actually created in Adobe
Photoshop because we wanted to show you just how creative you can
be with Kopykake Edible Frosting Sheets and Edible Inks. However,
you can create something easily in our free Desktop
Decorator or another program.
What
you will need
Adobe
Photoshop (or other program)
Canon Scanner and Canon color InkJet printer
Kopykake
Edible Inks (6000-SET)
Kopykake
Edible Frosting Sheet – Qtr Sheet (KJFS0811)
Creating
the Little League Baseball
Edible Picture Cake
First,
we downloaded a picture of a baseball from the Internet because
we wanted each of the Team Members to have their own ball on the
cake. If you type “Baseball Clipart Pictures” into a search you
will find some suitable baseballs. Or simply right click this one
and choose "save picture as".
Once
we had this Baseball we could start to design the cake decoration.
We used Adobe Photoshop and created a blank 8x10 horizontal page
(the size of the frosting on the Qtr sheet Frosting Sheet). The
first thing we did was to create a new layer and flood it with a
graduated fill, red to yellow. This added some interest to the border
that would surround the team photo later.
 Opening
our Baseball Clipart image we dragged it into our main page to create
enough baseballs for each Team Member. Positioning them in an attractive
way on the border.
We
then added each Team Member’s name and placed one over each baseball
adding an outer glow so the name stood out.
Next
we scanned our Team Photo with our Canon scanner and placed
it in the center of the cake, leaving space for the text we wanted
to add. We felt the picture stood out better with a bevel edge,
so added this attribute easily in Photoshop.
Now
for the words of encouragement! Ours was a post-season cake and so
we wanted to congratulate our team on the season. We therefore chose
to add the text “Great Season” and the Team’s name is The Diamondbacks,
so we added this too. “Great Season” looked better in a slight arc
so we altered the text attributes in Photoshop easily. We also added
an outer glow and slight bevel to the text to make it more prominent.
All
we had to do then was print the cake design using our Canon printer
and Kopykake Edible Inks, peel it from the backing sheet
and place it on the cake before presenting it to a little
league team full of smiles!
