Cake was a winner. All gone.

Now all the kids want me to make theirs...

That's sooo cool

Cheers!

I have this plan of making a cake that is a bike, not only has a pic of one on it. Just need to figure out how to sort it.

Been thinking about making all the bits individually: wheels, motor, tank and then somehow connect them with something that can be eaten. Then colour it in with coloured icing sugar... Years ago I did a Teenage Ninja Turtle in same fashion. He was sitting down. But the shell was what kept him together.

Baked bean tins or similar for the wheels
Loaf tin for the rest cut into various lengths when cool.
And then of course lollies for the finer touches ie speedo etc
Made a digger for "Shrek" about 12 yrs ago similar method,,,, looked good

Damn it all Con, I've sat here and read this whole thread, awesome mate, that is taking it to the outer limits man. I salute your give it a go and do anything for the kids attitude.
You will find a way to make that "bike cake' I just know it.

Cheers. What happened was that between my 3 boys and I we decided that the money spent on 3 Bthdays/year should be used on us instead of other families kids. And so we used the money to take trips round NZ. (There still was cakes, but more basic stuff where I did pictures on the cake of whatever was on their mind at that stage etc.) We did the Rotorua thingy where we stayed in a motel and did most of the turisty things. We did 2 ski trips, one to Whakapapa and other to Turoa and some other trips. Now the boys are starting to ask for Bthday parties again, so we will do that this year. There will be a 15, a 13 and a 11yo party so cakes need to be made. And yes, the bike one will be sorted for my youngest ones Brthday in October.

Will update as they happen.
