I think the ball pan would be a good way to do it. You might want to do a search in the galleries, and I'm sure you would find a ton of pictures to inspire you ![]()
There are some good previous posts on ball caps and there is a tutorial in Elisa Strauss's first book, Confetti Cakes Cookbook. I needed a slightly larger cake, so I used the sports ball pan (the soccer ball half round one) and put an 8" regular round beneath it. I made the gumpaste brim a week ahead and dried it over an acrylic canister that I had (made two brims, actually, which was good since one cracked).
