Hi I am wondering if you guys can help me I need to wrap fondant around the wilton balls but I can not get a smooth finsh I was just wondering if anyone has done these before I am making the sport cake in the wilton 2007 yearbook please help!!!!

I read if you put the ball cake on top of a glass or something pretty narrow that you can drape the fondant on and get a smoother finish, except of course on the part of the cake that is sitting on the glass. Probably won't see that part anyway once on cake or cake board.

You have no idea how much your post made my hubby chuckle this morning...

I agree with above-the fondant won't be smooth on the bottom, but it's okay because you won't see it anyway.

LOL Made me chuckle too

for a second i was thinking why would you chuckle at that and then the penny dropped

I don't know how it would work on those globes, but I have used fondant to wrap other things and I flattened out a piece, wrapped it around and then rolled the whole thing in my hands. The fondant took the shape of the object and no seams. I did have to trim a little at the bottom, but was able to smooth it.

I cheated..... i went to thr dollar store and found some small size rubber balls. i cut them in half and cut out where necessary and put them around the wilton balls. it worked well. i wish i could post it for you to see, but i'm a idiot on the computer. i haven't had time to get the picture thing down yet.
