Hi Sue-Wales

Paul hasn’t made a globe tutorial yet but there are several tutorials in youtube, see them here:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+t+cover+a+sphere+cake+with+fondant
While you’re in tubetube search also how make a christmas bauble cake
There are a few ‘how to,s’ in google as well, just search ‘how to cover a sphere cake with fondant’
I’ve also seen globe trotter cakes done on round cakes, you’ll come across them too.
When I did my globe cake I rolled the icing quite big and didn’t cut it off too close in to the cake. If you leave a fair amount it comes in handy for smoothing into the bottom side. You could also cut a little bit of the cake off at the bottom so it sits without toppling over (as in teapot cakes). There are lots of ideas out there so you’ll have plenty of guidance.

Good luck with your search x
