Basketball birthday
Uploaded By: jmt1714

I made a practice ckae using buttercream and the dot/flatten method. My hand crmped and I was about ready to die. I found something easier . . . convered the cake in icing then fondant, then used a meat tenderizer cleaver to get the impressions. Then use very thinly rolled black fondant for the lines. SO quick.

i don't remember exactly. I think it was yellow and red and a touch of brown to get to the terra cotta color. I used the same batch of fondant on my flowerpot cake.
