"life In The Not-So-Fast Lane"
This was for a friend's 40th birthday. He owns a classic 1964 VW Bug that he takes to regional car shows. The car is iced in buttercream. The caricature "Head" is made of maccaroons covered in fondant. The sign posts are metal curtain rods. The signs were created & printed using my computer. The roadway sign reads: "WELCOME TO LIFE IN THE NOT-SO-FAST LANE".
Amazing! I can't believe this is a cake! And maccaroons??? How did you ever come up with that idea. You are McGwyver of the cake world, Girl!!!
Thanks! This one was alot of fun to make. The only glitch was when the "head" started to split open & I had to repair it,causing it to to look a little less like the actual person. I used store bought macaroons to form the "skull" over a wooden dowel. I guess the weight of the finished "head" caused it to sink down the dowell enough to crack open his cranium. Ah well, we live,we learn.
Wow, great job! I bet everyone loved it.
That is awesome!
Awesome job....I have to make a cake topper just like this with a bride and groom - thanks for the inspiration!
