Batter Up!

Heat oven to 350°F. Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Spoon batter into a foil baking cup for baseball cupcake. Divide remaining batter between two 8-inch cake pans. Bake cupcake on a baking sheet, testing after 18 minutes. Continue baking cakes as directed. Cool cakes 10 minutes, turn onto rack, and let cool completely.

Layer round cakes with caramel frosting between them; frost entire cake with caramel frosting. Frost cupcake with vanilla frosting. Place remaining vanilla frosting in a freezer-weight zip-top bag and cut off a very small corner.

Decorate cakes with vanilla frosting, and use chocolate and red decorating icings to make baseball and mitt.
