Space Shuttle Cake

My 4 year old son loves everything space shuttle. There was no question what his cake was going to be for his birthday. The shuttle itself is a chocolate pound cake cut into the shuttle shape. The shuttle was covered in homemade fondant and placed on top of a homemade sheet cake. The candles were placed in the shuttle's engine cones for a true engine effect.

Editor's Note: Great cake, Jessica! Thanks for sharing the details about how you created it. The candle placement was very clever and will certainly be used by other moms who see this picture of your son's cake.
