Space Shuttle Cake

My son wanted a space shuttle cake for his 4th birthday party, so I did some research on-line and combined a few ideas to make this cake.

I took a ½ sheet cake and made a template on paper of a space shuttle to fit. I poked toothpicks through the paper and into the cake to cut the excess off. The butter cream frosting was made using clear vanilla and I used the Wilton back coloring for the black frosting.

Added 4 wavy candles at the bottom for the blast off.
