Can this be done? Or will it just fall apart when it's cut into?
I'm trying something, using up some cake scraps. I am trying to duplicate the Wilton cloud look w/o using fondant. (They took a round cake and put fondant balls all around and on top and covered in fondant and it looks a lot like clouds.) I have a lot of cake scraps and though Cake Balls,.. only larger might work however I'm worried about it falling apart when cut. DH has a b-day tomorrow and I went ahead and rolled the balls, no larger than what my hands can cover, and sort of stacked them. I froze them and I thought I'd cover in BC as he dislikes the fondant, even MMF. There will be a F-18 (toy) plane flying over it. Anyone have any thoughts/comments???
Thanks all! I'll be working on this tonight so I'll be checking back in/out later this evening.

I made a cake and spaced out some cake balls on top of it. Then I piled some fondant ribbon roses in between and on top to kind of fill in and elevate the roses. (It was a Pirouline-type cookie cake. There is a pic of it in my photos. We just took the cake balls off of the cake before cutting.
option 1: if doing a sheet cake under the balls...just make regular size and spread out over cake. the pour white chocolate ganache.
option 2: make balls big enough that one or two would be equal to one slice of cake...tack them to cake board (or boards for more clouds) and each other w/ BC. (this is a variation of the cupcake cake only using cake balls instead of cupcakes.)
might even, if big enough, treat each like a cupcake and instead of putting icing on w/ spatula or icing tip--dip them in the icing and then place together.
here again could do a white chocolate ganache to cover.
