Spread a little of the red frosting over ball and handle to cover. Spread bat with a little vanilla frosting to cover. Freeze for 30 minutes or until frosting is firm.
4.Spread remaining red frosting over ball and handle. Spread remaining vanilla frosting over bat. Use white writing icing to form stitching on the ball. Use black writing icing to write birthday message.
5.Place coconut in a resealable food storage bag. Add a few drops green colouring; seal. Shake well, scrunching to distribute colour evenly. Sprinkle coconut onto board around ball and bat.
You’ll need a 45 x 30cm cake board.
