Navy Cargo Plane

This was a fun cake to build! After carving three layers of cake into a smooth cylinder we attached the nose and tail which were made out of cereal treats. The two engines were also made out of cereal treats and covered with fondant. We tried a few different methods for the wings but ended up using cardboard cutouts covered with fondant; it was the best solution for a straight wing.

The most fun was delivering this cake to a very surprised Navy pilot who had just returned from the Middle East. This was a replica of the plane he flies in the Navy and he was amazed at the similarities to the real thing.

Welcome home, David. Thanks for doing what you do!
