This was the first cake I made to be sold. She wanted a cake for an 18th birthday and the birthday boy’s favorite team is the Oklahoma City Thunder and favorite player is Kevin Durant. That is his logo on the basketball. I found one of those plastic sheets that people use for yarn or needlework and it had round holes instead of squares and that is what i used for the texture on the basketball. The holes were a little finer than I had hoped but saved time over using a piping tip and doing each hole by hand. The lines were drawn on with an edible black marker. I ran out of ideas on how to attach the ball so I just shoved a take out container under it. The cake was a hit and matched the party theme perfectly.
