Jupiter Structural Layer Cake

The Earth Cake has been super-sized.

Our knowledge is mostly theoretical of course, but the gas giants are thought to have a core comprised mostly of rock and ice. This is surrounded by a layer liquid metallic hydrogen, and the outer layer is composed of molecular hydrogen.

In cake speak, this translates to a core made of mudcake, surrounded by almond butter cake, surrounded by a tinted vanilla Madeira sponge. There's a crumb coat of vanilla buttercream underneath the fondant.

    At the center of the earth is a solid iron ball about the size of a moon.

    It is hotter than the surface of the sun.

    In space you can't see the stars. The sun is too bright. There is nothing else.

    In space you can't hear anything. I wasn't meant to be here.
