Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 13x9 inch cake pan. In large bowl,
combine all cake ingredients; beat at low speed until moistened. Beat 2 minutes
at medium speed. Pour batter into greased and floured pan.
Bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes
out clean. Cool cake for 15 minutes; use a thin knife to loosen cake from pan
and remove. Move cake to wire rack to cool for approximately 30 more minutes.
Cut cake in half lengthwise, leaving one half whole for body of plane. With
remaining half of cake, cut crosswise into 1/3 and 2/3 pieces. Cut 2/3 piece
diagonally in half for large wings. Cut 1/3 piece into 3 triangles for nose and
small wings. Place cake pieces on platter or foil-covered cardboard to form
plane as shown in image above.
Add black icing color to frosting to make desired gray; blend well. With small
amount of gray frosting, frost one side of graham cracker triangles for
stand-up wings; set aside to dry. When dry, turn over and frost other side of
cracker triangles. Meanwhile, frost cake with remaining frosting. Carefully
place frosted graham crackers onto cake as shown in photograph, pressing down
lightly to secure into place.
Place cake ball at front of plane for cockpit. Cut 1 blue fruit snack roll into
window shape for cockpit window. Wrap remaining blue fruit snack roll around
pretzel stick for needle of plane; insert wrapped pretzel into nose of plane.
Flatten 2 white gumdrops; place on each big wing. With remaining blue fruit
snack roll and red fruit snack roll, cut out trim, stars and letters to
decorate plane as shown in photograph. Place 2 large black gumdrops at end of
