3 Sicilian space hobbyists have successfully completed mission number 001 of their "Cannolo Transporter" ship, all documented by 2 onboard cameras (video) [youtube.com]. From the original article (in Italian) [vivienna.it] (translated) [google.com]:

A cannolo with ricotta [wikipedia.org] and cherry on top (made of polymer clay) was brought to the edge of space with the help of a balloon filled with helium gas. The cannolo was mounted on board the "Cannolo Transporter" spaceship, made of infallible recycled materials. The balloon took off from Rocca di Cerere (Enna) and nearly reached the altitude of 30000 meters before exploding because of the thin atmosphere.

Does anybody have twinkies to spare for mission 002?
