OK, I have a groom's cake to do. It's got a football jersey on it, (which I've done in an edible image - with the groom's name on it). He wants small footballs in the corners of the cake. Is there a way I could make these with icing? I was wondering if I could use a particular tip, and how to do it? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

How about making them from mmf ? Or could you do a edible image of them too?

If you have the mini-egg pan you could make the footballs out of cake and then cover them in MMF. For the Super Bowl I did this and covered the "footballs" in ganache and then piped the white lines on them.

Does it have to be in icing? I have seen a mini football candy mold. I have done that before using a golf ball candy mold with great results (I made two sides so I could have them 3-D).

if it doesnt have to be edible i have bought (for superbowl this year) the cupcake sticks but they are 3d footballs. i just pushed it into the sides of my cake and no one guessed when i took them out that they had little sticks on them.

I shaped rice krispies into footballs and covered them in fondant for superbowl cakes. It was really easy but I did have to do two layers of rice krispies to keep them from looking bumpy.

I made some football shaped cake balls for the super bowl. They turned out a lot better than they look in my pictures. The icing laces got smashed in transport but they tasted great.

How about chocolate clay. I think that would taste great!

The football cake in my photos had mini footballs made with candy melts in a cany mold. Very easy to do and tasted yummy.

I made some out of fondant for the cupcakes and cake I did at superbowl time. Look in my photos.
