Making a Blue Angels Fighter Jet Birthday Cake: A Fun and Challenging Project

[pamperedlinda]

I made DS's birthday cake! It's a Blue Angels Fighter Jet.

Took me most of the day (it was much more labor intensive than I was expecting it to be)

WOW - that is soo cool!!!
Did he like it?

Yes - he said it was pretty awesome (his word to describe everything that he likes). He was disappointed that I didn't have it up on a stand though (like the display models)

Wow, that does look awesome! My kids are 11 and 20 and I loved when I made my son power ranger cake when he was 6!

[Teresa Lynn]

pretty cool mom,
I agree it would have been so much better upright on a stand.

I hope he doesn't try to launch the candles toward the dog! Great job, Linda! Now he can tell all his friends he had a plane birthday cake this year.

What talent you have, Linda. Awesome cake!

 

[pamperedlinda]

I hope he doesn't try to launch the candles toward the dog!

Great job, Linda! Now he can tell all his friends he had a plane birthday cake this year.

I thought about inserting sparklers instead of candles, but decided that might be a little too close to the cake board It would look really cool though.

Linda, that is an AWESOME cake! I also love how you did the candles! I hope you're proud of how it came out, it is really great (I know sometimes I'm not sure if things will come out exactly as I have them in my mind, LOL!).

 

[jrstephens]

That's awesome Linda. It looks great!!!:balloon:

I always get sad when it comes time to cut them.:cry:

 

[pamperedlinda]

Awesome job! I love how you did the candles.

Thanks - here's the picture with them lit, just as he was blowing them out. I started to use the re-lighting candles, but thought that might cause a fire hazzard.

Thanks Annie. I'm proud of it (but yes, in my mind it was better - don't know why I 'think' I can decorate like Duff! )

 

[Bren706]

What an awesome cake, Linda. You did an amazing job!

 

[letscook04]

Great job Linda!!!

 

[chef131doreen]

WOW guess you wouldn't be doing that at a show !!!

 

[jetcitysandy]

Wow Linda that is an awesome cake!

 

[pampchefsarah]

Linda, that is so amazing! The placement of the candles was perfect, and it looks so cool when they're lit!

I don't know how it looked in your mind, but I can't imagine any part of it being any better.

Thanks Annie. I'm proud of it (but yes, in my mind it was better - don't know why I 'think' I can decorate like Duff! )

The cake is great!!

I have that same problem too. I saw the gumball machine cake they made, and I am already thinking of ways to use the batter bowls, bake the cake, turn them upside down use a fish bowl and make a gumball machine cake... I just need an occasion to make it!! I made a princess doll cake for a friends birthday and asked my 3 year old what she thought, she said "oh mom that is beautiful- can I have one?" We should start an I want to be like Duff group.

 

[heather223]

Great job Linda!

 

[peichef]

Linda, your cake is amazing. I can't imagine it looking any better than it does. A job well done, Mom!

 

[AnnieBee]

It does look even cooler with the candles lit!

I'm glad you liked the recipe (and it's so easy too!). I know I will be using it again and again!

 

[fikibiff]

Very cool - looks great with the lit candles!
