This idea was from Debbie Brown's Easy Party Cakes book. I used the sportsball cake pan as the base. For the yarn texture I was having a hard time making the strands uniform so I put the fondant through the Kitchen Aid meat grinder (without the blade) and presto --- Perfect strands of 'yarn'. The cat is also made of fondant.
This cake is covered in buttercream and was made for my Aunt and Uncle's 50th wedding anniversary. All gold medallions are made of marzipan and shaped using First Impressions molds.

Here is Barbie in her pink, beaded gown. She is ready for the birthday party. Cake was made using the wondermold. Buttercream frosting and fondant were used for the gown. The bodice is made using a flower cutout and layering the petals. Many petals are separated using beads to give it a layered look.
My nephew wanted a volcano cake. I made it extra special by having it actually explode. The cake is the wondermold covered in fondant. Before applying the fondant place a large test tube in the center of the cake. Put the fondant over the cake and then cut a small slit around the top of the test tube. When it comes time to light the cake, light the candles and then lift the top of the fondant, add diet coke to the test tube and then drop in 4 mint mentos. Your birthday kid will love it! Be sure to test the 'explosion' ahead of time so that you know how many towels to put under the cake. Or - We had the explosion outside to keep the mess out of the house.

My nephew wanted a 'Mercedes Cement Truck' cake. Who knew that Mercedes made cement trucks? This cake was a near disaster due to the weight of the cake. The cab and base of the truck are all cake. The cement drum of the truck is RKT and I used two football molds (cut off the ends) to create the drum shape. Frosting is all buttercream. If you make this cake, make sure you have a well designed support system for the drum and don't drive too far with it!.
