If you had to cover odd shapes with fondant, would you rather use MMF or Satin Ice(or other brand of fondant)? I need to cover the 3D ball cake with fondant. I did a practice run on a plastic wrapped soccer ball yesterday with lefover MMF and it didn't go too well, LOL. Also, if you have any advice at all on covering ball with fondant...

Thanks!
Courtney

I am going to bump this one also b/c I have two ball cakes covered in
fondant at the end of this month.

Both kinds of fondant are fine for a ball, but it is tricky to shape it. For a soccer ball, you can make one or more seams to patch the pieces and hide the seams with black lines.

For another kind of ball, you can add a line of decoration to hide a seam or two. Either way, it is still a pain.

Thanks so much Jo ann! So basically there's going to be seams and you have to figure out where to put them. My ball is going to be a baby's head so it kind of needs to be perfect, LOL. Why do I always have to pick the hardest things to do??
