Disco Ball-Shaped Cake

• Make a cake that is round and reflective like a disco ball. Bake in any flavor a cake in a round cake pan. Let the cake cool, and then frost with chocolate or white icing. Cover the entire iced cake with silver, reflective sprinkles. These metallic-looking sprinkles are edible and are available at baking supply stores. The cake will be round and reflective, just like a real disco ball.
  
  

Disco Ball Cake Toppers

• Use small disco balls as cake toppers for a cake. Small disco balls can be found at craft stores or at Christmas time in the ornament aisle. Use these small balls as cake toppers on a sheet cake. Cover the cake in black fondant or chocolate frosting. The dark icing will help the light-colored, reflective disco balls stand out. Group the small balls in the corners of the cake, or use one and spread silver sprinkles around the ball.
  
  

Cup Cakes

• Make cupcakes that look like small disco balls. Bake the cakes in silver cupcake cups. When the cakes have cooled. Add a layer of rolled black fondant to the top of each cake. Then use a paint brush to paint luster dust onto the fondant. Luster dust is an edible metallic dust that can purchased at baking supply stores.
  
  

Other Disco Ball Cake Decorations

• Consider other ways to decorate a cake with a disco ball theme. Make a tiered cake and nestle various sized disco balls in between the tiers. Another way to decorate a cake in a disco ball theme is to simply draw the image of a disco ball onto a sheet cake. Use gray-colored icing or metallic luster dust to add the mirrored look to the ball.
