Today the Gheens Science Hall and Rauch Planetarium held a Shuttle Launch/ Retirement Party. Not only did I lead the kids' activities, but I made the cake. It was my biggest adventure to date. The cake fed close to 300 people! Since it took about a week to make a year off my life due to stress, I took as many pictures as I possibly could. Here is the final product:
At the Planetarium, I am known as Commander Kaet. This is me in my astronaut suit. Fetching, isn't it?!?
The layers were chocolate, white and butter cream vanilla. The astronauts and flag were made from fondant covered sugar cookies. The stars and shuttle were made from a fondant/ gum paste mixture.
I tried to take pictures from all different angles. The fondant fixtures don't taste that good. . .in my opinion. They are mainly marshmallows and sugar. Most adults I know can't stand the taste, but since it's got sugar as the main ingredient kids LOVE them. I saw several kids eating the stars like candy. Kind of grossed me out. . .
This is the "After" shot. I think that means they liked it!!
