Tiered Soccer Ball

I am very pleased with how this cake turned out :)  No major issues with gravity, and despite my daughter's best attempts to thwart me, it all came together very nicely :)  And I even finally figured out how to do a cursive capital "J", hah :P


The soccer ball itself is all yellow cake with buttercream only.


The bottom layer is my new fave chocolate cake recipe, with fresh strawberries (yum!!!).
