"Um actually,"

The inner core is solid, the outer core is liquid, and the mantle is kinda...solidish-slushy-sorta.

So the earth is like one of those fancy cherry cordials with the 2 fillings?

I think a Ferrero Rocher is a good fit. The solid core is the hazelnut, the molten core is the Nutella, the rocky crust is the wafer, and the chocolate and hazelnut coating is the topsoil.

That's great! Ratios are a bit off but we are talking about food, there's no 1:1.

I think the wafer makes sense as the mantle, the chocolate as the oceanic crust and the hazelnut as the continental crust.

ratios will probably always be way off, no way to make a crust that thin without also making it huge

Eggs are closer. The center of the yolk being fully cooked. The outer half of the yolk uncooked but hot enough to be. The crust bursting when expansion escapes through a weakend crack solidifying as if continental crust.
