I went to a birthday party this weekend that had the most amazingly decorated Curious George cake (it was a party for a 2 year old). The cake reminded me of a few of the fancy cakes I have made in the past for my mom. One of my favorites was a tennis ball cake I made for her 2 years ago. She's a big tennis buff, and this cake was the envy of her entire tennis team. And it was decidedly simple to make, too!
1) Make a regular boxed cake mix in the Betty Crocker Bake-n-Fill round pan. (I borrowed it from a friend).
2) Buy some neon food coloring. Mix the green and yellow into a can of white frosting until it gets to be that neon tennis ball green. (I kept a real ball next to me for comparison).
3) Using a large star tip, pipe green stars all over the entire cake.
4) Using a small round tip, take white decorator icing and pipe two cruved lines around the cake like you would see on a tennis ball.
Done! Easy as pie, and looks great. I will post images of mine later - I have to scan them in first.
