Soccer Ball Cake

For Natalie & Nathan's combined birthday party, we invited our friends and family to Vetta Sport SOCCERDOME to celebrate with a little soccer and inflatable fun!  The kids all had a blast.  I was super excited to show off my first soccer cake.  This is the first time I've ever star-tip decorated a cake and I'm actually pretty pleased with the results.

I made 4 batches of butter cream icing and 2 cake mixes to construct this soccer masterpiece!  After I put a thin layer of icing over the soccer ball, I used a hexagon/pentagon template to trace the shapes with a toothpick before filling them in the the star-tip.  Next time, I'll make sure to get that special grass icing tip to make the grass look better.
