possible solution for death star cake by: Anonymous
Hi! I actually just made a death star cake for my daughter's party. I baked half a sphere for the top and baked another half sphere for the bottom. I covered the top sphere with one piece of fondant and the bottom sphere with another piece of fondant. This method works well for the Death Star because it does have a trench around the middle, so it doesn't really matter if you have a visible line or indention (it actually helps I think). If you are wanting to cover the whole sphere at once then I'm sorry I'm not the person to help (that's what I'm trying to find out myself for another cake :) ). Hope this helps!
