Bake one layer of an 8 inch round cake. Next I baked a round ball cake.
I used the Wilton ball pan.
It consists of two half balls that you will eventually put
together. Using a white icing ice the 8 inch round layer ,making sure
it is nice and smooth .Next make a royal blue icing and use the star
tip # 16 to make double lines together on the sides of the cake,
spacing your double lines equally around the sides.
Use the star tip # 18 and make a shell border around the top and bottom
edge of the sides using white icing. Now take the two half balls and
put them together with the white icing. Slice off a small amount of
cake off the bottom of the ball so that it will sit level.
Place the ball on the top center of the round decorated layer,
flat side down. Use white icing and the star tip #16 and cover the
entire surface of the ball cake. Make a red icing and use the round tip
#4 and make the lines and the stitches on the ball.
