Rocket Cake

For this cake, I just baked two round cakes and then designed the rocket from there.

I wish I would have taken pictures of the whole process for you, but since I didn't, hopefully you'll be able to get an idea by just looking at the final product.

One suggestion: freeze the cake before you cut it or try to ice it!  It makes things so much easier!
Also, it is best to put one layer of icing on, freeze it again (for an hour or two), and then put on the final layer of icing

I used sprees and Red Hots for the designs, as well as pull-apart licorice, and an ice cream cone.

It was a big hit!!
