Sunday Sweets Explores The Galaxy
August 26, 2018 Today we're going on our very own Galaxy Quest, cake fans, only this one won't include ANY forms of rudimentary lathes. (HA NERD JOKE)
No, instead I found 10 of my favorite galaxy and night sky cakes, so if you have a problem with black icing, green tongues, and/or technicolor poo, abandon hope, all ye who enter here.
Now, ON TO THE PRETTIES.

It's like someone wrapped a photograph over the cake - bu that's all hand-painted!
I like how this wedding cake combined 3D trees around the edges:

Plus the silhouettes are a sweet touch.
Here comes a technicolor galaxy inspired by the Hubble telescope images:

While this one captures the bright shimmery lights of the Aurora Borealis:

Here's one with a gothic flair:

I like the black-and-white abstract feel, and I never thought I'd say this, but those candles are the perfect topper. So cool!
A sweet and simple one-tier with the most gorgeous crescent moon on top:

Look at that fun texture! Like a bunch of buttons! I bet they crunch like meringue, too.
This one literally writes the cake's message in the stars:

Birthday constellations!
And we can't talk about starry nights without including the most famous one:
;)
[By Breyanne's Sweets in Texas]
There are a lot of Starry Night cakes out there, but I fell for the texture on this one: almost matte, like chalk pastels! But it's hand-painted buttercream, if you can believe it. Absolutely stunning work.
Since space is wibbly wobbly, timey-wimey stuff, it only makes sense to add a TARDIS topper:

The lights are a brilliant touch!
And finally, another out-of-this-world cake... of the whole solar system:
;)
[By Dolce Dita in France]
I have the irresistible urge to pop the whole moon into my mouth y'all. Maybe Mars, too.
But not Uranus.
Happy Sunday! Hope these made you smile!

By "moon" do you mean Mercury? Also, I think they've misplaced Mars and Venus - at least the planet in Venus' spot (*ahem*) looks distinctly red, and the one in Mars' looks quite yellowish *pushes glasses up nose and grunts disapprovingly*

Haven't got the crescent moon cake yet, but see https://www.uknow01.com/p20180103164410330/ . Lots of image steals from the same source.

Of course they're the minors
I belive the crescent moon cake is from I Am Baker.

She's an awesome baker, and a hilarious and real person. Love her FB, Instagram and blog.
I love your posts! Amazing cakes!
The TARDIS cake you have there is similar to my wedding cake.

Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? In this part of the Internet? Localized entirely on that cake?
I’ve seen that crescent moon cake all over Pinterest. The I am baker site is the only one I’ve found with the recipe and tutorial posted.
I'm annoyed by that last cake. The planets are almost, *but not quite*, in the right order. For some reason they put them in the order Mercury, Mars, Earth, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and then presumably Uranus (looks the same as Neptune anyway) and Pluto.
@Elizabeth: No, it's like this near-copy: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bf8cGgOFvjI/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=q2bvdxovn7dk
Does the Whipped Dreams cake make anyone else think of the fight between Jack Frost and Pitch Black in Rise of the Guardians?
@Christopher: I wasn't suggesting that it was the same baker, or I would have said so. I was just saying it was similar (and maybe looking for a reason to show off my cake).

I love these cakes- thank you!
The last cake is by no means the whole solar system, even if you ignore the fact that Neptune is missing; there are many moons, 7 of which are larger than Pluto, which does seem to be included. But then again there may be objects hidden behind the cake.
Here's a list of the largest 33 objects in the solar system: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Bk1JU3eMdZRtnfvcZ0Sid7xjBjjrVNGacFIYm8wgHtM/edit?usp=sharing
You see, it's quite a bit more diverse than just the main planets.
