AToday i went to the shops with my mum and i bought those flower cookie cutters so i could do flowers on cake and stuff but the thing is i forgot to get the ball tool. Is there something else i could use instead of the ball tool? thanks

i watch a guy at ices convention thining edges of g/p rose petals with half of one of the small plastic easter eggs. You can glue a marble on  the end of a dowel rod(something like that) and use that. I have one  from Earlene  Moore's class some years back. hth

AI was thinking about using my little bro's marbles then thought it'll be stupid but hearing from someone else makes me feel better :-)

I use a wine bottle stopper that has a smooth metal ball on the end.  It doesn't have a long handle, but it fits my hand and it doesn't tear like my plastic ball tool.  Here's an example:  http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00382YWB0/?tag=cakecentral-20+stopper

AMaybe you could use a small stainless steel measuring spoon?

Mine are pretty round and may do the trick!
