Solar system



A solar system cake for my space-mad six-year old! The planets were hand-painted and attached to the cake when dry, and I flicked the cake with white food colouring to give the effect of tiny stars.  I tried to make the planets fairly accurate, and had my six-year old as my advisor; Jupiter has its storm, Earth its continents and the Sun a rough surface of flames and solar explosions!
