Galaxy Cake

1 min read

This galaxy cake was for my eldest son 10th birthday, we headed down to a local hall and had a space themed party, with games and balloons!

Cake

I used my tried and trust chocolate fudge cake recipe with chocolate cream cheese filling, and as it's super difficult to make black icing, I purchased black and dark blue pre-made icing from Spotlight, and used a mix of the two colours, then sprinkled with white food colouring to create a star effect.

Fondant

I created a fondant astronaut using a mixture of white fondant and white gum paste, the astronaut is embellished with gray and white marbled fondant and of course a fondant New Zealand flag!

Planets

I was considering making the planets out of a non edible material, but my son insisted everything needed to be edible, so I turned to rice crispy treats, put in lollypop sticks and then covered the planets in different Fondant patterns. The kids ate the planets like lollypops.
