DIY Pokéball Layer Cakes: Gotta Eat Them All!
These Pokéball layer cakes are perfection, and lucky for all of us, hon3y5un5h1n3 posted a tutorial of how to make your own Pokéball layer cakes on Instructables. Beware, you cannot use cake mix to create these! She warns that cake mix is too light and fluffy and will fall apart while you try to mold them.
