Adding Color
Once the icing is the right consistency, you can start adding color to it. Begin by adding a few drops of food coloring to the bowl and mix until the desired color is achieved. You can add additional food coloring to make the color darker or lighter, depending on your preference.
Piping the Icing

Start by outlining the basketball on the cake with the icing. Once the outline is complete, fill in the basketball with the icing. You can also use the icing to create lines and stripes on the cake, or to write out a message.
Finishing Touches
Once the icing is in place, you can add a few finishing touches to the cake. Sprinkle some silver or gold glitter onto the cake for a sparkly effect. You can also add edible basketballs or stars to the cake for an extra special touch.
