Yes, it's cake! A commission for a netball cake got me quite excited to make another spherical cake. I had quite grand plans for the cake but due to lack of time ended up simplifying the design to just the cake and the floor boards.
The netball is 'handstitched' with tiny holes created by using a cake tool. I could have used an actual stitching tool but from photos of netballs I'd seen, the stitches looked quite prominent so decided to make them individually. The ball is dusted with silver grey to give it dimension and an aged look (but not too aged!). The floorboards were embossed and handpainted then finished off with 'nails' which were created using a small round piping tip.
