I never had birthday cakes that cool when I was a kid...

1. I am going to have to show this to my 12 y/o daughter

She's been all into baking recently...these would be a totally fun project. (oh god, the clean up!)

2. very cool

It's interesting that the re-baking of the inner spheres doesn't ruin them.

3. I wish I had seen that last year

A young friend of mine wanted to make a cake for her science class to show the layers of the interior of Earth. I did find some sites on how to make cakes similar to this and showed her. She baked a cake, took it to school and got an A for her project. I was proud of her - she had the original idea, I found a few ways to implement it, and she actually did it. Smart kid.

4. I baked the Magellanic Cloud once.

5. Wow. You're so right, Blue_Tires. The fanciest cake I remember baking as a kid

was a sad, lame teddy bear-like frosted lump, lol.
