Hi all,
I posted on this sub a couple weeks ago asking for advice on how to decorate a cake to look like the reference pic I was provided.
This cake was for my 12 year old brother, who requested a replica of Mercury (the planet) for his birthday.
Thank you to everyone that gave me great tips to nail the look. I ended up using quite a few of the ideas provided, and my brother said it was the coolest cake he’s ever seen.
I’ve included the reference pic again, as well as a cross-section shot!

When a 12 year old says something you do is cool, you KNOW it’s cool. Fantastic job!!
Wow!
Wow , you did an amazing job on that cake , looks phenomenal!
Oh my gosh! You did such a great job!
It’s the moon cake update…yay! I love it?
Curious cause I’ve never done a spherical cake…is it sturdier to do the 2 layer base instead of another single layer like the top? I’m thinking yes but this is clearly past my skill level.
