Cake decorating fun

A sweet friend of mine is expecting her first child and I had the opportunity to help with planning the baby shower.

She is a volleyball player and coach so the theme for the shower was that "it's almost game time!" Her husband roots for the Georgia team and she roots for FSU, so the colors for the shower were pink, black and gold.

 No stores sell volleyball decorations...which makes a volleyball themed party more difficult, but more fun (gave us a chance to be creative).
I made the volleyball net from a netted glove I found at Target and two cake pop sticks. I cut the glove up to make the rectangle and hot glued it to the sticks.
I wasn't sure how to tackle the players and decided to draw the Disney Princess Belle serving a volleyball and the Georgia Bulldog.  I took some cardboard cut it out to the same shape as the paper, hot glued cake pop sticks to the back and put paper over that.

 I'm pretty happy with how it all came together. It has been a while since I decorated or made such a large cake.

I saw this idea on Pinterest and I am happy with how easy it was to decorate them, I just iced them with vanilla icing and had a black icing tub with a narrow tip to make the volleyball lines.
I wasn't sure how many people were coming so I made cupcakes as well to make sure we had enough. We had way more than we needed, but that turned out well because then a lot of ladies could bring cupcakes home to their families or husbands.

Glad everything turned out well despite some hiccups in the process of my making the cakes, it all came together.
