I would like to replace the flowers with soccor balls. What would you suggest for making the soccor balls?
Thank you

I would try making them out of fondant since they have to be small!

What about cake balls dipped in white chocolate? Then you can ice on the black ? It would be a little extra surprise? and you can make them any size you want =)

Can't wait to see your cake. I love that design.

for getting that perfect ball I have thought about using the molds for round suckers. Have you seen them or have a place near you that you could pick one up? If not do you still have time to order? Then they would all be the same size and round. I know it is hard to get them round even if you use a scoop to get the same amount.

You could also do royal icing runouts and put them on an angle.
