Gerard's 4th Birthday Solar System Cake
I love repeat customers and I was delighted to make this solar system themed cake for Gerard's 4th birthday, having previously made his Christening cake.
Gerard loves the planets so I wanted to make something that not only tasted great but looked great too.
The cake was two tiers of chocolate biscuit, airbrushed in a deep blue and then distant stars were added by hand.
I hand crafted the planets from fondant and hand painted the detail onto them and then added the rings of Saturn which were made with sugar paste. I also included the asteroid belt.
A 3D rocket was added to the top of the cake complete with number 4.
The base was airbrushed and then finished by hand and "Happy Birthday Gerard" was written in constellations on top.
My own little man is an expert on all things related to the solar system and appointed himself as chief consultant, making sure I had every detail correct!
