Coolest Airplane Birthday Cake 33
by Jeanelle F.
(Oceanside, CA)
Homemade Airplane Birthday Cake
This Airplane Birthday Cake was for my husband’s, a pilot, birthday. The base was two 9x13 layers of chocolate cake, filled with vanilla butter cream and maraschino cherries. The entire cake was covered in homemade blue marshmallow fondant, with clouds cut out of white fondant.
I built a frame for the airplane out of thin wood using a skill saw and a hot glue gun. I molded rice krispy buttercream, and covered it with strips of fondant. I used the blunt end of a skewer to push the fondant strips into place, and this made it look like rivets along the seams. Then I used food coloring and glitter dust to paint the stripes and window. I attached this to a plastic dowel and anchored it in the base cake with a screw from the bottom.
The propellers were cut out of silver paperboard, attached with toothpicks (so they would spin!) and covered with fondant nose cones painted silver with glitter dust.
