Soccer Ball Cake FAQs
Is it hard to get the soccer pattern right?
No, the panels are printed for you. Follow the layout in the guide.
Do the panels go on wet or dry icing?
Wet. Lay them on straight after icing so they stick, starting at the top of the ball and working down the sides. You only need the one Dome tin.
How many does it serve?
About 24 serves, based on 12 serves per packet mix and how generous your slices are. For a whole team, pair it with Sport Shape Toppers cupcakes.
Is it AFL or soccer?
It's a round soccer ball. Perfect for soccer fans of all ages.
Can adults have one too?
Absolutely. It's a favourite for dads' and coaches' birthdays.
