you are the BOMB. I love this. I am so making this for our 6th grade Basketball end of the year party. I do not bake but I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for all the information. I could ask a question but I think you have answered every question then some that could be associated with this. Thanks again for sharing your creation. It would be pretty cool to see you do a Pacific Salmon. LOL A girl can dream cant I
Wow! really amazing, I'm watching to get tips for making a teapot cake. Covering a sphere shape is scarring me and you made it look so easy. Do you think I need to do it in two pieces? How did you make your seam disappear??? You are really talented!
Awesome job! Have you ever done a football shape before? Or recommend any way to get the shape, the full shape such as this.? Trying to get some tips for my sons first birthday. Sports theme deft going to be using these tips as well as any others you have..
i am using your tutorial to make my sons bday cake for his basketball theme party! i have 2 questions. 1. can i use the wiltons sports pans (they are sphere shaped) and 2. i live in NY. any recommendations on where i can physically buy fondant from, or a website i can order it from?? thanks so much! you are an amazing artist!! i"m also going to make the converse one :D !!!
Hi nice cake. You are a true artist. I want to ask you a question I want to make my husband a basket ball for his birthday can you please tell me what are the cake sizes on this cake? Thank you in advance. great job love your cakes.
great time-lapse and great work. what did you cover the bottom half with before you added the buttercream? is it a cake pop mix? great carving skills too
Love this! I've noticed a lot of decorators use ganache instead of buttercream on the cake, what did you use? Did you freeze the cake before you put fondant on it? I'm making my son an angry bird cake and would love any tips you could offer. Also I'm using 6 inch ball pans, do you thing your method is better/easier? Thank you!
thank you! I use swiss buttercream, I dont put it in the freezer though, the fridge seems to set it great. I have never used a shaped pan so I wouldn't have a comparison, I just use rounds because it makes baking a whole lot easier! Good luck with your Angry Bird and enjoy!
Hi Ashling, do you have any boards in between any of the layers, and did you you dowls and is it a pound cake? I have to do a bowling ball and your techniques are wonderful :)
Hi Justine, I put a support board right in the centre, using thick straws to support it. This one was a light a fluffy carrot cake! Thanks so much and good luck!
+Phylicia G She used x2 6'" /x2 8" /x2 6" with a thick covered cardboard center to be able to cut the cake up to half mark when serving. Then you flip it over, using the top (now the bottom of the board) and serve that way - like a princess cake cut.
Hello, good afternoon, I wanted to ask you a question about your wonderful basketball cake, please answer me, I want to make that cake and I would like to ask you for some advice, thank you very much!
Ashling- this cake is amazing! the best basketball i have seen. I am not sure if you will respond since this is an older post but i am attempting a bball cake this week. how did you get the black lines of fondant so flexible and even? i always stretch mine. also, i am making a much smaller version. just using the wilton pan so 2 halfs. should i put dowels i the bottom half and a board in between the 2 halves? please send suggestions. thank you so much in advance
Thanks so much Cheryl! I used gym paste rather than fondant. I'm not familiar with the Wilton pans but I would use a board in the centre just to support the widest part of the cake at least
That is my experience as well! But I have read so many people use it for figurines and flexibility. I really need to start working with gum paste but I have not used it before and need to make this cake in the next 2 days. Thank you for your help.
It looks like you may have used a white ganache to cover it. And froze to trim the bottom edges. If you can confirm that. Im considering covering mine in chocolate ganache. TIA
Ashling Graham Could you please tell me which type of biscuit is better to do such wonderful cake? I would like to do the same spheric cake for my 2 years baby boy.
Hi bern here just a quick question i am actually plaaning to make this for my son's birthday and i would like to know how long it took to make this and what are the colores that u used , also the lettering ruler where do i get them im not good baker but i love baking for family and friend so far i baked atleast 65 cake on my own.

wow, thanks for that, I was flummoxed on how to cover my basketball cake, that panelling method was a great idea, thanks so much
it's just a support board over dowels so that it doesn't collapse upon itself and sink
Amazing! I made a basketball cake this weekend and your tutorial helped me a lot! Thank you so so much! I wished I could put a picture of my cake

Please Excuse Me ,Ashling Graham when did you start learning how to do cake carving and cake sculpting?

Hi! please tell me in which biscuit is better to make such 3d cakes
What was the little board like thing you used to hold the cake up at the beginning? You placed it btw the two biggest pieces of the cake.
please help we almost have it done i did a swish butter in the middle. What frosting did you put on the outside?
after you shaped the cake what did you put on the bottom to even out the cake before you iced the whole thing?
do you cover your cake with molding chocolate
What did you use to make the little circles all over the basketball?
The lemon zesters i look up arent circle shaped texture
Wow x
i like it.
can you pls make some volleyball cake
Hi Ashling, do you have any boards in between any of the layers, and did you you dowls and is it a pound cake? I have to do a bowling ball and your techniques are wonderful :)
Hi Justine, I put a support board right in the centre, using thick straws to support it. This one was a light a fluffy carrot cake!
Thanks so much and good luck!
Thanks so much :)
woooooooow !
what size cakes did you use for each layer and the what size round did you use in the center?
+Phylicia G She used x2 6'" /x2 8" /x2 6" with a thick covered cardboard center to be able to cut the cake up to half mark when serving. Then you flip it over, using the top (now the bottom of the board) and serve that way - like a princess cake cut.

Revelation!

shared this via google+
Ashling- this cake is amazing! the best basketball i have seen. I am not sure if you will respond since this is an older post but i am attempting a bball cake this week. how did you get the black lines of fondant so flexible and even? i always stretch mine. also, i am making a much smaller version. just using the wilton pan so 2 halfs. should i put dowels i the bottom half and a board in between the 2 halves? please send suggestions. thank you so much in advance
Thanks so much Cheryl!
I used gym paste rather than fondant. I'm not familiar with the Wilton pans but I would use a board in the centre just to support the widest part of the cake at least
Do you think adding tylose to the black fondant would help ? Or would you only suggest gumpaste?
+Cheryl Kutzer I've no idea if I'm honest. From my experience adding tylo to fondant can make it dry and grainy so I don't use it for any detail work
That is my experience as well! But I have read so many people use it for figurines and flexibility.
I really need to start working with gum paste but I have not used it before and need to make this cake in the next 2 days.
Thank you for your help.
+Cheryl Kutzer good luck!
Which cake recepie did you use? And how much?
Hi do you have this available in regular speed?
Hello, what did u use to make the black lines around the basketball? Do you have this video tutorial available for sale in real time? Thanks!
Most likely it's fondant..same as the Orange
Slow motion will be great
Can you please tell me what mat that is you used to make the impression on the ball?
toby ferguson it was a lemon zester
Wauw eres genial
Did you use a dowel through the middle to sopport the cake on the board? Thanks
Yes I dowelled through the cake and cake drum so it wouldn't wobble or tip over
+Ashling Graham
Thank you for the reply!
what is the name of that tool you used to make the texture on the ball??
it's a lemon zester
oh ok thank you and I wish you could of don't the tutorial slower lol
it's not really a tutorial tbh, it's just a timelapse of work, which is why it's so fast
What is the light brown on the bottom of the cake and what is its purpose?
Its supposed to make it look like the wooden floor of the indoor NBA basketball court
What was the thing you used to make the basketball imprint?
Melissa Kaawa it looks like a hand held grater :)
Anyway is awesome
It looks like you may have used a white ganache to cover it. And froze to trim the bottom edges. If you can confirm that. Im considering covering mine in chocolate ganache. TIA
Alaina Ortiz it's Swiss meringue buttercream. I don't have great experiences with white ganache
Oh Ok thank you so much! Ive never covered with ganache either so Im glad to hear yours wasn't. lol. Thanks for the quick response!❤👍
What are the measurements of each cake?? Would love to know. Thanks
I love this but I wish you showed us the process and what ingredients to use. And it was too fast too. Nice cake though
Amechi Mercy it's really not a tutorial, just a time lapse
Okay
Best one yer
how many servings does this yield? whats the cost? thanks!
I DONT KNOW!!!!!!!!! & AND THIS IS THE WORST QUESTION EVER!!!!!!!!!!
Et sinon pour savoir comment on le fait sa se passe comment
I would watch this rather than boring long videos of tutorials
amazing, But is to fast I can enfoque
hi can I ask what you use to get the texture on the ball
+Heaven Hypes She used a lemon rind grater (zester)
Thank you...
