This was the cake from H-E-double toothpicks. The humidity and heat had gone up and fondant trouble came with it. The fondant kept drying out quickly and cracking. After having to tear the fondant off and replacing it 3 times the basketball came out lumpy; the back of the ball is an abject disaster. I finally had decent lines on the ball however because the netting kept drying out and cracking and falling off the cake quicker than I could make it, the lines were smeared on the ball. I also had to use toothpicks to get the nettting to stay on the ball. The only saving grace is the child it was for thinks it's the greatest cake ever. Glad she was happy, I'm not. :(
