[Baking Adventures]

This is astounding! The inner layers didn't get dried out from being baked more than once?

I didn't sample it but it appeared not: same theory as a polkadot cake.

True art. What a wonderful thing. I bet it tasted great.

Thanks! Apparently the next lesson the kids were all raving about how much they liked the cake -- either it turned out well, or they're easily impressed!

You are amazing.

Thank you. :]

That's gorgeous! Wow!

I'm always surprised and excited to see it any other way. So this time I let my home country by the focal point of the cake

I appreciate this very much. /Kiwi

Haha. I imagine you guys get even less globe love than we do!

Incredible job, I LOVE the attention to detail-- it's functional, it's beautiful AND it's edible? Trifecta achieved! You're amazing.

Thanks so much! ♥

I am a geology student. I like cake. Marry me?

Done!

Awesome!

Thank you!

Awesome idea. Would seem a simple idea to most, but obviously required a lot of thinking. I think the countries came out looking very accurate. And even though you say the layers weren't perfect, I'm sure inside the earth that they aren't perfectly smooth spheres. ;)

Haha -- I'm not about to visit to go check.

The way the planet actually sits? There's no difference to the planet between the south and north poles. It's purely a human convention that the north pole is the one we put on top.

I think the continental map is really neat, and not that much off! Might not lead a pilot to the very precise spot but close :)

Haha, close enough for a days fondant work.

You did a great job with the continents and it was a great idea. I get excited about cakes, and even more excited with cleverness.

Thank you. :]

that is so cool :) thank you for sharing!!!

Pleasure is all mine! Thanks for stopping by.

That is so cool! It's beautiful. The layers are so nicely done, and the colours look great. What's up with the North though lol! It's all stretched flat like a map hehe.

I like the Australia focus too, though I would have made it peach-coloured, rather than green. Can't wait to see the plan A one, if you do make it! You should get a globe to use for reference next time, so you don't have to worry about map projections.
Awesome. Awesome awesome.

hehe, if you made it for a special party, and there was a celiac there, you could make them a little gluten-free moon cake. To scale of course ;)

Another annoying thing about accuracy is the actual thickness of the crust. If your cake had a radius of about 20cm, the crust would be 1 mm. That's not much icing...

Thanks!

This is one gorgeous cake, constructed with talent and cleverness!

Thank you! :]

I would never eat something so unnatural (I really don't understand this colourful chemical trend) but I must admit : it looks awesome! Good job!

(I loved the funny comment about drawing Europe and America ^^)

I'd not assume every coloured cake is made with 'artificial' colouring. 'Natural' food colourings are not only easy to make at home, but readily available to buy commercially.
