Tardis Cake

Good morning blogosphere!
I woke up this morning after literally dreaming of flying away in the TARDIS all night, and so I decided that would be the subject of today's post! For those of you who are not yet whovians I will do a little explaining. The
TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space) is the time machine/space ship used by the Doctor in the British television program Doctor Who (Americans can use this link here). The Doctor is a Timelord, an alien that looks
like a human but can live for hundreds of years due to their ability to regenerate. Timelords have mastered the ability to travel throughout space and time, and the Doctor does so as a way of trying to restore balance to the universe with a companion in tow. I really suggest giving the show a shot, no matter your tastes Doctor Who has a little something for everyone. If you are a Netflix user you can watch all of the new seasons (the series began in 1963 and was rebooted in 2005) on the instant watch right now.

It should be fairly obvious by now that I totally and utterly
love all things Doctor Who! In fact I have decided that for my birthday (which is in just a few days) I would like a Tardis cake that looks something like this :

I found this picture after googling tardis cake and my friends and I have been using it as inspiration for our own creation. We are going to make the cake 4 layers high (alternating layers of chocolate and pumpkin spice cake) and then wrap it in fondant and decorate it to look like the above picture. We are also baking banana cupcakes (the Doctor says you should always bring a banana to a party). The banana cupcakes will be iced and decorated with edible ball bearings (the Doctor was thrilled with them in the episode Fear Her) and mini Tardis cupcake toppers. All in all my party is set to be an incredibly nerdy event :). I will be sure to post many many many pictures here for all to see how everything went and what the end result looked like. I hope you enjoy!
