Earth Day may have come and gone, but that doesn't mean appreciation for the planet should also disappear just as quickly; the Earth Cake is a great reminder to love the globe, one delicious bite at a time. An incredible baking feat, the Earth Cake thankfully didn't take six days to make, or else that seventh day of rest would have been much needed.
Created by Beth Klosterboer of Hungry Happenings, who boasts a relatively easy method of leveling and frosting the spherical Earth Cake, provides a step-by-step guide for those who want to bake one themselves. In addition to smooshing the icing on using a bowl and plastic wrap for added texture, the true icing on the Earth Cake is its rock candy core.
