Thought you might like to see what I did today. As you may know, my DGS's birthday was March 1st, turned 17. He is having a bunch of his friends over after they go to one of those rock-climbing places (I was invited :roll: ). I asked him the other day if he was too old for his favorite cake, he said he is never too old for a soccer ball cake. I have been making these since he was about 5. Needless to say he is a soccer player and a huge fan. The ball is yellow cake and the field is chocolate.

Great story & Beautiful cake!

I love the cake.

Great cake! Do you use a special mold for the ball?

awesome on all accounts!

Yes, Wilton has a ball. You can make a baseball, bowling ball, golf ball; all the directions are included. I have arthritis in my hands and wrist so it is becoming increasingly difficult to do these things. My DGD one year wanted a Barbie doll cake. So, of course I spent a fortune on that one. I told her she will have a Barbie cake every year, her wedding cake will be a Barbie cake. :roll: I have lots of pans; that is one things my Gkids look forward to every year. Barbie was in a race car one year, one year she was a mermaid.

Happy Birthday to your grandson! The cake is wonderful!

Cute! I am sure he will love it.

That is so cool! Good job! I would love to learn how to decorate cakes.

Now that is a way too cool cake!!! Love it.

Awesome cake skills!

What a sweet and thoughtful grandson to never outgrow this wonderful memory you created for him. Nice work on your part and what a wonderful young man.

Thank you for sharing.

Aw, come on Grandma..you didn't go rock climbing????

Your cake looks great, hope you have fun at the party.

Your cake is great and your grandson is greater for letting you make him this cake.

You are one terrific grandma. I'm taking notes. :-D

I hope he never grows out of it, what a special thing you two have! :D

Special memory!! How nice!

Ha Ha! I told him I would probably hang myself on the bungee cord, or whatever it is. I don't need a broken hip. It's bad enough he has me playing "words with friends" on my I-pad. His mom (my daughter) just groaned.

You are making such wonderful memories for your grandchildren!

MMMMMMMMM ... I can almost taste it!!

Your cake looks so good I sent DH to market to get me some white cake. I love the cake you made. Decorating cakes is on my bucket list. Ahhh, cake is my weakness...

Love it ...to bad we can't share bet it tastes great!

I've decorated those cakes before, so I know what you're talking about with the arthritis... The cake is really neat, though!!! What a special relationship you have with your grandchildren... a treasure!

Great job on the cake! I love it! Looks yummy!
