i didn't think I would get this cake together. It wasn't what I was planning. I change my mind a million times when decorating but I was relieved & pleased when it was finished. If anyone has tips for putting fondant on a sports ball, let me know. This was the 1st time I did string work since the Wilton class & I enjoyed doing it. Most of all, my friend & her daughter loved it & that's what counts. I made this for the company coming before the wedding. I got the idea from you great decorators here!
