Planet Earth and Space Rocket Cake

I made a victoria sponge cake mix and baked two halves in a pudding bowl. Then stuck two halves together with vanilla butter frosting. With blue food coloring I colored more frosting and covered the whole thing.

With ready to roll green icing I cut out the shapes of the land and sat it over the top. I made a couple of flags with tooth picks and paper and the satellites came from my sons toys with garden wire wrapped round to make then stand up. The rocket was a swiss roll covered with white and black ready roll icing with a few silver balls added hear and there. The fins and flames again were shapped from ready roll colored icing and the name piped with an icing pen.
