My hubby is leaving the Army after 16 yrs so made him a cake to mark the occasion. Its a keg with him laying under it in his uniform and with a pineapple as he has always said that he always took pineapples. (yes sir let me bend over for another pineapple) I have used fondant/tylose to make the pineapple and the book plaque and of course the hubby. The cake was a round sponge (4 layers) with a chocolate custard filling.
