My son Cam loves basketball. So making this cake with him was a no brainer! It was a little time consuming when decorating it, but overall, it turned out great.

Here's what you need:
- 3 vanilla cake mixes
- 2 cans of chocolate frosting
- 3 bags of Reese's pieces
Make your cakes according to directions and let cool. I also recommend refrigerating them to make icing them a little easier. Trim off sides to make a rounded top, gently placing on the other 2 layers. Ice between layers and then do a crumb coating on the top.
Sort your Reese's Pieces by color. You will need the black and orange ones. Gently cover the cake in a basketball pattern and let the frosting set.
