Soccer Present / Gift

First time using fondant, so I did a a trial run for an upcoming birthday for my god daughter who wanted a soccer themed cake. present is layers of french vanilla and chocolate cake iced in white chocolate ganach and then covered in fonadrific buttercream fondant. layers filled with whipped white choc ganache and dark choc. ganache. Ball is wilton sports ball pan (only half a ball), iced in white choc ganache & covered in fondant. Lid made of gumpaste, which I did not finish decorating. I decided that I didnt want to decorate the lid (so i wouldnt have to make another one for the "real" cake!). Tissue is gumpaste rolled really thin. if anyone has tips for covering square cakes with fondant, I'd love to hear them...could not figure out the corners--too much xtra fondant! ugh.
