Rainbow Dalek Cake ... also Tardis cake! post 12
I just want to show off the cake I made for DS2's 3rd birthday.
He loves rainbows and daleks (robot villains from Dr Who), so I thought I'd combine the two. 6 layers of cake, strawberry jam, coloured like a rainbow, covered with royal icing, decorated with licorice. I hope it's ok to brag here. I've never made an elaborate cake before and while it's quite messy we all loved it so I'm very happy. DS2 kept saying "Exterminate, exterminate, destroy!" and "Have a look at this, a dalek cake!” so he was thrilled.

Re: Rainbow Dalek Cake

Re: Rainbow Dalek Cake
An update: DS1 decided he needed a Tardis cake for his 6th birthday (today, but we celebrated yesterday).
We had heaps of fun making it. It was my first foray into fondant icing. DS had fun watching me ice it and even snuck in an extra bit of icing, adding a second “pull to open” sign. Oh my, he was SO excited. He even covered his eyes to pretend it was a surprise when we did the whole birthday cake and candles thing. The cake inside was marbled as a representation of the time vortex. Too geeky? Hehehe. I can’t wait for my own Whovian birthday next month.
