Title: Easy Airplane Cake

Ingredients:

– 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 cups sugar
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup milk
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt

For Decorating:
– Blue and white fondant
– Food coloring (red and black)
– Edible silver dust
– Paintbrush
– Rolling pin
– Airplane-shaped cookie cutter

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a rectangular baking pan or cake mold.

2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined but be careful not to overmix.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing and transferring to a serving platter.

7. While the cake is cooling, roll out the blue fondant on a surface dusted with powdered sugar. Use the airplane-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the airplane shapes.

8. Roll out the white fondant and cut out clouds or other airplane decoration shapes as desired.

9. Use a bit of water to attach the blue airplanes and white clouds to the top of the cooled cake.

10. In a small bowl, mix a little bit of the edible silver dust with clear alcohol or lemon extract to create a silver paint. Use a paintbrush to add silver accents to the airplanes for a realistic touch.

11. For the final details, use the red and black food coloring to add windows, propellers, and any other details you desire to make your airplanes truly stand out.
