This delectable Earth-shaped layer cake mixes all the fun of a middle school science project with the baking process. This cake is rounded and decorated to look like a globe on the outside, but the inside is also a tasty tribute to Earth. When the cake has been cut into, its earth-like core is revealed.
Essentially, to put this Earth-shaped cake together, you need to bake three cakes of different sizes and colors, and create a kind of cake nesting doll. That's right, this educational treat requires a cake within a cake, within a cake. After putting the many layers of cake together, decorate with blue icing and use colored fondant for the green and white land masses.
There's no better way to learn about geography than by baking and eating an Earth structural layer cake.
