Rocket Cake

Jan 25, 2009 11:18

Well the cake came out successful. The kids loved it and they even ate it.

I made 2 portions of an "Easy Sponge Cake" from a book I have that is called "teatime treats"

I received some advice from
eliezrah
made this cake first for her 3 year old in September, which is where btw, DS got the idea and also I followed what this website said:

Especially for the engines.

DH and I bought two kinds of ice cream waffles to make the engines. DH is really good about such engineering dilemmas and he made the engines whilst I made the rest of the cake.

I had to use, Red food coloring. I also had a tube of blue Jell which I used for some details and to color some icing light blue for the window. We dipped a lollipop in the icing for the top part.

and here are the photos prove it.

HE WAS A BIT MESSY SO MY SIDE WINDOW TURNED PURPLE BUT I WAS ABLE TO FIX IT A LITTLE AND IT WAS OUT OF SIGHT.
