Soccer Ball Cake

I made this for my youngest son's ninth birthday last year. He participated in five seasons of soccer. This was actually my first attempt at anything other than a square cake, and I think it turned out fairly well. He loved it.

I used a pan that I bought at a craft store and food coloring for the icing. I had to make the cake twice because the first one was ruined when we had a vet emergency after it was placed in the oven. I was proud of my efforts, and he was very happy with his cake.
