My son wants to be an astronaut and asked me to make a space shuttle cake for his 5th birthday. I had no idea where to start until I found this website and so many wonderful ideas here.
I made this out of a 9 x 13 size cake and printed a template off the internet. I used the scrap pieces to make the shuttle taller and then used a potato peeler to “shave” the nose into the
correct shape.
I used store bought fondant (found out later I actually could make my own – wish I had known!) and then decorated it. It won a thumbs up from my son.

Hi,
Where would I go to find templates for the Space Shuttle Cake? I must be looking in the wrong place. I am not to good with the computer (am still trying to get used to it).
Thanks a lot,
