Batter up and batter baked!
For most fondant decorating I use homemade fondant (go HERE for the recipe,) but for red and black decorating I always buy fondant because making those dark colors requires so much gel that it becomes a sticky mess. I like Duff brand the best because it tastes half-way decent for store bought fondant (I especially like the red flavor) and it is really flexible. It does not work well for decorations that need to stand up on their own like flowers. To make red and black flowers I had to roll gum paste powder into the fondant in order to get it to dry stiffly. For an example see “Cascading Flowers Red and Black” under Wedding Cakes.
These were for some baseball fans whose parties would not have been complete without paying/eating homage to their favorite sport.
a little faith and a lot of frosting
