This cake was ordered by one of my mother's colleagues for her boyfriend's 45th birthday. Originally she wanted kayak, running, badminton and hunting incorporated into the cake, but when I showed her the drawing of this one, she chose it, and I'm glad she did, because I really wanted to make it. I had a lot of fun making it, I rarely get to make cake's that are so personalized and with so much detail, but was pleasantly surprised that it didn't take as many hours as I had expected it to. The runner on the side was the biggest challenge, and unfortunately he didn't survive the transport. Luckily I suspected he wouldn't so I had made another figure lying down on the road as if he had tripped, and could quickly place him on the cake instead of the runner. I didn't get a picture of him though. The bottom cake is 12", the top 8" and the plate it's on 16". The bottom plate is plywood cut by my father because it costs a bl***y fortune to have cake drums that large delivered to Denmark, but I'm glad he could help because the cake ended up weighing a ton, and I'm not sure a normal cake board would have held when I lifted it. The cakes are vanilla with rhubarb-strawberry IMBC.
