My daughter loves everything related to the space, so she decided her birthday theme would be the space, with a Solar System cake.

I made this solar system cake for my son who loves planets. This was the second time I made the solar system for his birthday so I wanted to top myself. The year before I put a clock motor into a cake to make the cake into a working clock. I wanted to use the … Read more
My solar system birthday cake started out small and grew really fast. It was fun to figure out the effects and special characters.

My son has really been into the solar system/outer space recently, so we agreed to design and make his 5th birthday cake a Solar System cake. I decided to make a 9×13 sheet cake from a regular cake mix, since I figured that would give me a good “canvas” to start with. Beginning with white … Read more
