Pokemon Ball Cake with Surprise

To make this Pokemon Cake, I used my Betty Crocker Bank N Fill Pan. There are 4 pieces to the Betty Crocker Bake N Fill Pan, I used the domed pan for the half sphere, and the base pan to sit the half sphere on.
I iced the cake to look like a Pokemon Ball. This cake only needed 4 different colors: Black, Red, Yellow, and White, so I didn't have to spend much time coloring the icing. I smoothed the icing using a little bit of corn starch and a rolling pin. I know some people use parchment paper to do this.
I free handed Pikachu (probably the most famous Pokemon) onto one side of the cake, and I searched the internet for "Happy Birthday" in Japanese, and then wrote that in yellow and red icing on the oposite side of the cake.
I iced the inside with Butter Creme icing, but I didn't fill it, instead I slipped a pack of Pokemon Playing cards into the center of the pan for the "SURPRISE" inside!
After the cake was iced, I created a nice red and yellow border around the bottom edge of the cake. It ended up looking fantastic.
Just remember to let everyone know to cut the cake carefully. Nobody wants their Pokemon cards cut in half?
