I said I'd post pictures of dgs' cake.
It had to be assembled at his house (and the drive over, holding the fuel rocket was awfully stressful because the highway was backed up so dh picked a regular road which mean dozens of full stops and starts at lights, each of which threatened to topple the rocket.)
He was required to stay upstairs until that was done and then came down for the reveal. He was really pleased. I said, "We thought you might like a space-themed birthday." He said, "You were right." He liked the galaxy napkins too.
Constructed of tomato paste (not eaten!), rice krispy squares, white cake. Five batches of butter cream icing. Three of which were scraped off the fuel rocket after (that's $7 of ingredients into the garbage) because it was too sweet and it was turning the rice krispy squares mushy. He had asked for white, then changed it to carrot, then changed back to white "but only if you haven't already bought the ingredients for the carrot cake." (I had but made up our family white cake recipe which both dh and dd love, plus made up a carrot cake which is now frozen in 2 serving slices and we will be enjoying until March. Plus I have over half the white cake in the freezer too.)
