I made this cake for my mom's 4th of July party...and to try out my new 4" pans :). I wasn't too happy with the ball border. I planned on using my clay gun to make a 'snake' to go around all the borders, but I somehow measured wrong when cutting my cake boards,and there was too big of a gap. Bummer. I used MFF for everything, and sprinkled generously with red, white, and blue crushed cake sparkles.
