I made this cake for my son's 9th birthday. He and his friends loved it!!! It was pretty easy to make. I used a little more icing then it called for. It took one and a half containers to do the crumb coat. Loved all the tips like freezing the cake with crumb coat then doing final icing. Rinsing the icing spatula really helped give the cake a smooth finished look. I decorated it a little different than the recipe also. My son and I had a blast being creative. I'm looking for a reason to make this cake again :)

My family and I had major challenges in making this cake. We ended up making three cakes, but two actual "shuttles". The first cake fell apart so we have it now as our "shortcake" samples :-) The other two looked more like a Klingon Bird of Prey (aka warship) more than the Space Shuttles. It is incredibly difficult to frost the cut edge without getting the cake bits all over the frosting, and we did freeze the cake before cutting and frosting. Following the video made it look easy, but I highly recommend practicing a lot before committing to any "public" event if you plan to provide a cake for a group gathering. The construction simply was not as easy as the video portrayed. Plus, the ingredients were not all available, like string licorice so we improvised. We still enjoyed the cake though. P.S. We do not live in a high altitude location and worked in an air conditioned kitchen, so we did try to control the temperature to avoid melting and softening of the cake + frosting.

I made this for my sons 8th b-day and it was a big surprice. For me too, because it was my first themed cake I have ever made and it was not so difficult than it looks. Thank you for this great idea

I just made this for my nephew's 5th birthday. Turned out really cool! I had trouble finding star shaped candy to decorate so I ended up making some stars freehand on wax paper with Red Candy Melts. Not so perfect but it did the job. He's a Mickey Mouse fan so I found a set of Mickey Mouse Space stickers and attached a sticker of mickey in a space suit to a skewer and stuck it in the cake to make it look like he was floating in space. He loved it!!
