I decided a few months ago that I would attempt to make a football shaped cake for my brother's birthday and so here it is. I'm apparently not allowed to call it soccer - it's not the done thing.
This would be one of the most difficult cakes I've ever made in my 7 months of cake decorating - I spent almost an entire day in the kitchen creating this football. I must say that there would be quite a few things I would do differently when I make my next football cake.
The template I had copied and cut out did not work well at all so I had to remove all the templates I had laid on to the cake and start over. I decided to cover the cake entirely in white fondant then cut out parts of it to be replaced with black pentagons and scoring lines to make it look like a football.
I really need to do this again - I may take up Ivan's request to fly to Singapore and make this for his birthday! =)
