OK I need help - I am making my first Grooms cake and he wants a soccerball. Just the ball is two small and I am making the complete round ball.
So I want to make two rounds under neathe it S0 I wanted to stack it on a 8 and 10 inch cake.
I have never used dowels - do you put one through the whole cake or just de every layer speratly???
An advise would be helpful
Thank you
I have not done a lot of stacking but I would put some in each layer to keep each layer supported and then especially because the ball might be sort of fragile on top, I could put one large dowel straight through the middle of all the layers for stability. I did that when I made a golf ball cake and it worked great.
I would:
do 2 layers of 10 inch, then dowel and add the 2 layers of 8" (wiht cardboard support) then dowel and add ball cake (with a 6" trimmed cardboard underneath). Assemble the 10 and 8 inche cakes ahead of time, add the round cake on-site and add whatever border you want/need (personally I like the look off grass as a border/base)
if you saw Ace of Cakes recently...they did a b-day cake for martina Navtrolva (sp?)
they made it look like a stack of tennis balls.
three balls on the bottom in a triangle and a fourth ball on top in the middle depression left by the three on the bottom.
very impressive looking cake.
