I was sad my sphere that i had made wasn't thought out more, but the photographer was able to take a picture of what it was suppose to look like before taking the top off (It didn't balance and would fall if we left it that way)... we ended up cutting into the small cake-which we wanted for our one year anniversary-because thats where our hands were lead to when the cake knife was in our hands (it was pretty hectic at that moment).The cake taste was amazing though!!
