For Jack's 6th birthday, the Euclid Beach Rocket car was going to chauffer the kids around, so what better than to also have a rocket car cake!
The rocket cake and surrounding planets are french vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream filling and icing. They are also covered in vanilla fondant. The 3 cakes together would comfortably serve 30-35.
The rocket was carved into the shape and gum paste accents were added to form the seats, windshield, tail fins, and rocket boosters.
Jack & the martian sitting on the red planet were hand modeled from gum paste, too.
Edible silver luster dust was painted on the rocket to give it a special shine.
