Help Crazy Request For A Softball Field

I have a customer that has a crazy request for a softball field cake.
First he wants to know if I can make a chain length fence. Does anyone have any ideas? Second he wants the softball to look like its been hit and going over the fence? Some customer just think we can do anything with icing and fondant LOL. If anyone has any suggestions I would realy appreciate them.
Great job. I still need to know how to do a fence and ball
Once I did a four wheeler jumping a mud creek by attaching a small diameter but strong, stiff wire to a toothpick and embedding it through a fondant rock into the center of the cake (the fondant to give it balance since the part of the cake I was putting it into was not very high). The four wheeler looked like it was in mid-air. Maybe try that.
For the fence maybe SugarVeil. I have not personnally used it but that is the only thing I can think of that would be uniform enough other than royal icing piping which would be fragile. If you decide to royal ice you could make several "Panels" with lollipop sticks for fence posts and then arrange them in a roundish shape around the field.
Good luck
Sugarveil will be your best bet for a realistic fence. Make sure you get your details right on the softball field. Typically they are a dirt infield rather than grass and the balls for little league are bright yellow rather than white. May want to double check those details also.

I just saw this cake. It isn't mine. Maybe you can pm the person who made it about the "fence" they made. It might be something that would work for you.
