The final piece was decorated to look like the moon, covered in white icing with choc buttons working as craters.
The This Morning presenter had shakily written ‘Moon’ in icing, and added a Lego man holding an American flag with the birthday boy’s face on it.
Chocolate stars patterned the border, and another photo of the cut cake revealed that Holly’s rainbow efforts had paid off.
Green, yellow, red, and blue sponge is stacked on top of each other, with the blonde beauty completing the space effect with a rocket candle.
She proudly captioned the post: “Cake complete! Happy birthday to my dear friend Moon Man… love ya! ”
Holly also posted a picture of the cake to her Instagram Story, adding a rocket gif and David Bowie’s Starman.
Fans were blown away by her efforts, with one commenting: “Looks amazing I bet it tastes good too.”
Fans heaped praise on her efforts[/caption]Another added: “Morning Holly, get you; Holly the baker! Looks amazing.”
A third gushed: “Looks fantastic!! Well done save me a slice? ”
Yesterday, Holly posted a snap of four bowls of sponge cake mix – all different colours.
One was yellow, another blue, one more red, and the final still needed to have it’s green dye mixed in.

The cosy snap came after the busy mum teased a look at the swimming pool in her £3million London home.
She had the outdoor pool built in 2013, but hadn’t before revealed her private oasis.

Holly is normally very private about her home life but has been forced to share more with followers in recent months due to lockdown restrictions.
The star enlisted her two oldest children to turn their lavish garden into the set of her new clothing photoshoot – with the kids even snapping the pictures themselves.
Holly also updated followers regularly during her family’s two-week quarantine after their trip to Portugal this summer.
Desperate for distractions in that time, Holly shared snaps of her and the children decorating doughnuts, also revealing that they had tie-dyed T-Shirts and even made sushi in other creative pass-times.
