Airplane cake
An airplane cake can make for an excellent way to commemorate any special event or holiday, making this unique cake recipe simple and straightforward to create. Made with chocolate cake covered in fondant and featuring two dimensional royal icing airplanes. Additional fondant clouds may also be randomly added to match its overall theme.
Start by gathering an outline of the airplane you intend to create. You can do this by drawing or searching online for basic airplane templates; alternatively you could even trace a picture from a children’s coloring book for more realistic-looking planes. When your template is complete, set it aside and allow it to dry thoroughly before moving forward with construction.
Next, prepare the royal icing by mixing black food coloring into it and placing it into a piping bag. Pipe out an outline of an airplane onto parchment paper using a small round tip (Wilton tip #3) before filling in white sections with black royal icing to complete your piece. Let it set overnight to dry completely if possible and make another copy as a backup just in case your first plane breaks or chips!

As you plan your next party, take into consideration the color scheme of your venue and select balloons that complement it. Choose from blue, pink, white and gold options or mix and match combinations of these hues to create your ideal look for celebration. Airplane-shaped balloons can often be found easily at party stores near you and would make an excellent addition.
Balloons are typically constructed out of flexible materials like rubber, latex, or nylon fabric that allow them to be stretched and twisted without snapping or breaking. As balloons stretch further their polymers will unfurl as though like cooked spaghetti strands; when released however, forces between their polymers pull them back together into their original shapes again.
Whatever the occasion may be, custom-printed balloons make an unforgettable present. Made of high-quality material and available in different sizes and colours, you can personalise these thoughtful presents with messages or images printed directly onto them!
