In light of the recent campaign to storm Area 51 and free all the aliens I thought it might be quite fitting to make a cake to celebrate the event. As you can see, Aliens do exist and look extremely happy to be escaping! #Area51

Please note that no aliens or soldiers were harmed in the making of this cake!
On a more informative note, the breakdown of this cake is as follows.

On a more informative note, the breakdown of this cake is as follows.
Cakes
- The cakes are 6 and 8-inch square Madeira sponges that were filled and covered with Chocolate fudge icing.
- The two tiers are covered with black and white Renshaw fondant icing that I mixed to make the marble grey colour.
- The plastic soldiers are Tobar Army Troopers from Amazon; they were washed in hot soapy water and dried before being placed onto the cake.
- The barbed wire is made from #22 florist wire that was wrapped around a pen to make the shape.
- The Area 51 sign is a black card, letter stickers and white paper straws I then inserted into the cake. The only issue I had with the straws is that after a while, they started to turn yellow as they absorbed the butter from the cake.
- The Aliens were created using different coloured packs of Renshaw icing, and the Alien eyes are Edible Eyes by Cake Decor. #decoreasy
- The camouflage on the base of the board was made by taking balls of Renshaw's Black, Teddy Bear Brown and Lincoln Green icing, rolling it out and then placing it in patches on the base. It was stuck using a little water.
- The Section 14 sign was made using a Kitchen Craft message maker.
