Rover Cake!
Posted by Ryan Anderson
Baker Chris Vasilakis stands next to her amazing MER cake at the Adler Planetarium.
Today the rover team got an email from Michelle Nichols at the Adler Planetarium showing off the awesome cake that they had for their celebration of the rovers’ 5th anniversary on Mars. It’s absolutely amazing. I can’t believe they ate such a masterpiece! Here’s the description of the cake from the email:
The body of the rover and the high gain antenna were all made of toffee buttercrunch cake with cinnamon buttercream between the layers. The wheels and a few other parts were made of rice krispie treats. Note the fondant birthday candles at the front in the instrument arm. The red stuff at the bottom is all edible homemade mars…shmallow.
MMMM…a Rover Cake yummeeee!!!!!
