Volleyball Cake

Kim asked if we would make a cake for Kaitlynn again this year. Last year we had a lot of fun making her a softball cake, so this year we got to make a volleyball cake!!  Joy and I would both have to say that volleyball is our favorite sport to play, so that alone kinda pushed us both to make time for it. Kim had several great ideas she found, but with a short time to plan it out, we went with one of the easier designs.  

The ball is made with Wilton's Ball pan and everything is simply covered in buttercream frosting with simple stars, shells and writing.  This was the first time we have done the newer technique of putting writing on top of writing with two different colors.  It was a little scary since we were putting it on top of the net - if we made a mistake, it was going to make it hard to fix... but all went well!  

Thanks Kim for a fun opportunity for us to make a cake for Kaitlynn!
