My Party

Thank you! I actually made the cupcake toppers myself using chocolate candy molds and candy melts for the football, basketball and soccer ball. For the baseball I used fondant pressed into a baseball mold and candy writer (edible pen) to draw the lines. I got the cupcake stand from www.cupcaketree.com and self decorated with color and ribbon accordingly. Yes, the topper is a cake in which I also made myself. I hope this helps!
Awesome Job! Where did you get the mold for the cake and where did you get the water bottles? Thanks, Mick
Thanks! The dome part of the cake is half of a Wilton sports ball pan and covered with fondant. I purchased a youth sized baseball cap, traced the lid portion and cut it out. I used that template and cut out gumpaste, added the lines in the lid with a stitching wheel and let is dry on top of the lid on the real hat (covered w/saran wrap) to acheive the curve. Once dry (about 1 week) I attached to the dome portion with piping gel. I hope this helps!

Loved this idea. Where did you get the cupcake toppers and the cupcake stand. Is the top had a cake or just design
