The first thing i’m going to say is… GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE GUTTER!!! haha… this is literally a ball themed cake. Angela had contacted me asking if i could do a ball themed cake for her son who loves all sorts of sports that have balls in it. I.e. basketball, tennis, etc. However, as her son’s favourite was basketball, she wanted the main theme of the cake to be a basketball court with a big huge basketball in the centre, and have the sides of the cake showing other type of sports which have balls in them like tennis, soccer, etc.

 

So this was what we finally came up with The basketball on the top was also made of cake and i can’t believe how many little dimples i had to make on that little ball to give it the texture of a basketball… i wonder at the end of the day if anyone actually noticed it :p And don’t get me started on the trouble i had making the basketball hoops!! Ouch! I think i spent close to 2 days trying different methods and thinking up different ways to do up the hoop. I just hope at the end of the day that the birthday boy enjoyed looking at the cake as much as eating it
