This was one challenging cake to make. The roundness of the ball was difficult to achieve. With challenges, the cake turned out the way I hoped it to be. However, the humidity in this season (summer) is not cooperating with me even with full blast airconditioning. What I need next is to purchase a dehumidifier. Hope this will solve my problem with humidity.
This cake was gifted to Uncle Boy on his 50th birthday from his beloved niece Katrina and nephew Jepoy. She wanted a simple cake, but I made it more than what she expected. She was ecstatic! It's more that what she expects!
The cake was made in mocha sponge cake filled with mocha Amaretto Italian buttercream. The cake was airburushed with orange food cloring to bring out the true orange color of the basketball.
The Laker's Playoff Ticket was made in icing sheet printed in food coloring and attached to fondant. The Laker's Logo was hand carved on fondant.
Once again, another happy birthday celebrant! Happy Birthday, Tito Boy!
