This was an AWACS military plane cake for a birthday/ going off to work in party. Came in at three feet long with an almost three foot wingspan. Weighed about thirty pounds. Used cake for the fuselage and rice crispy treats for the wings, tail and radar.
My son loves fighter planes. So for his 3rd birthday we decorated with F-22s and F-16s. For his F16 airplane cake, I took his favorite plane and drew it out on some graph paper. This helped me get the dimensions right. I then took those dimensions and optimized it to cut out the correct pieces … Read more

I made this cake for my sons third birthday. He’s a HUGE Blue Angel fan. I made it from 2 sheet cakes – cutting out the body from one and the wings from the second (diagonally). The cockpit was made from a snack cake (I wouldn’t recommend that cake idea, since it sat a little … Read more
I used the same technique that the other Blue Angel cake on this site used but to make the cockpit and tail wings I made sugar cookies. As you can see from my cake pictures, the tail wings were simply triangle cutouts and the cockpit I made by baking the cooking on the backside of … Read more
