    It’s hard to imagine that thing flying. How much weight does all of that cake add to the airship?

      It’s actually the reason it can fly: this craft is what is known as a hybrid airship, it’s lifting gas doesn’t quite give it enough lift to fly, unlike a regular airship, and it gets the rest from aerodynamic lift like a plane. This requires it to be vaguely wing-shaped, which is why it has this design like two blimps stuck together.
