Dimpled orange frosting and licorice laces make this basketball cake look deliciously realistic. It's as much fun to make as it is to eat.

Ingredients

1 package (18-1/4 ounces) chocolate cake mix
1-1/2 cups vanilla frosting
Orange paste food coloring
4 pieces black shoestring licorice

Directions

Prepare cake batter according to package directions. Pour into a greased and floured 2-1/2-qt. ovenproof bowl.

In a small bowl, combine frosting and food coloring. Place cake on a serving plate. Spread with frosting. Gently press a meat mallet into frosting so texture resembles a basketball. For seams, gently press licorice into frosting. Yield: 12-16 servings.
