4. TARDIS Cake With Working Lights

rob_top_close Need something to put in your TARDIS fridge? What€™s better than a TARDIS themed cake for your birthday? How about a 2 foot tall TARDIS cake with real working lights that€™s bigger on the inside. And that€™s just what cake artist Leigh Henderson has made after months of planning and building. 13full-light She has quite a few amazing cakes under her belt, with everything from an Axe Cop cake that actually decapitates his enemies, to a robot baby cake with kicking legs, and many have moving parts and lights that really work! But we€™re here to talk about her insanely detailed TARDIS cake. 15biggerinside Essentially a banana cake with chocolate buttercream icing and a lot of gum paste and fondant, the special ingredient is a bunch of LED lights and a flexible carnival mirror making it seem bigger on the inside. Weighing in at almost fifty pounds, everything from the walls to the Time Rotor is edible. It took 7 nine-volt batteries to power the hundreds of LED lights in many different colors, and 124 pieces of grey-blue marbled gum paste. Each piece was hand cut or carved, including each of the illuminated Police Box signs. 17cutfromtop And what is the point of having an awesome cake without anyone to share it with, so she decided to throw a party. She didn€™t have to wait long to get a ton of RSVPs. It€™s a shame that the cake had to be eaten, but I€™m glad she got to share it with friends and other fans. You can see her process here.
