The base is a chocolate cake, frosted with buttercream. The sun is streaked buttercream. The planets are actually candy covered in marshmallow fondant. (And? These were really fun to make! I might have to convince more people that their cakes need there…"Ya know what would make this Hello Kitty cake perfect? Planets. Just around her face.")
Here's a little closer look. The asteroid belt is made from Raisinettes and the stars are shimmery white sprinkles. I could not believe that my local grocery store didn't carry dragees*! What is this world coming to??
* Don't be too confused. Three years ago, I called them "edible BBs" or "those silver ball thingies."

Hi Jessica. I'm not into making cakes myself, though my daughters are and I admire them for it.
I've come here via Popps's blog because like you I received an email from the prolific Serge L of JOOBLE and my curiosity got the better of me as to the identity of those others he has invited.
Like you, as you say on Popps's bits and bob's blog, where I first met you, I'm a bit of a joiner too.
I'm therefore pleased to meet you here all the way from
Austraia.
By the way, your cake here seems apt in the world wide universal scheme of things.
