So last year, I made this space shuttle cake for my son's last day of school. I decided to make a tutorial for it. And I'm just getting around to posting it. Which is just like me.
I used styrofoam for the bottom of the cake. And as you can see I cut my own cake board. Lol. It doesn't have smooth edges.
Here are all the cakes that I used to make it.
4 - 6" cakes
2 - 5" cakes
and 2 - 4" cakes
The cake board.
More cake board info.
Putting it all together.
I stacked it like this, and then realized that wasn't going to work.
So I re-stacked it. From the top to the bottom: 4",4", 5", 6", 6", 5", 4", 4" .
The carved cake!
The cake has been covered in buttercream!
I had to put three sections of fondant on the cake, so that it would work. When I tried to drape one piece of fondant over the cake, it just kept ripping.
The final picture of the cake!
A little note...
The school mascot is a dog, so we use a little paw print around the school.
I must have added some buttercream dots for some reason.
And finally here it is, in the class room.
