I have my first paying cake this weekend and the theme is Triathlon...please give me a few ideas...I baked 2 oval cakes that will be stacked to one side...then my ideas are to put bikes around the bottom side, a jogger in the middle and a pool on top...I used the candy modeling clay for the runner and swimmer but what to do for biking event which just so happens to be this man's favorite event !!!!I cant make a bike that stands up with a biker on it!!!!

You could make some cookies that are decorated like bikes. If you don't have the cookie cutter for it you could make a template and cut around it with a sharp knife since you only need a few.

Great cookies!!!! These'll look awsome around the bottom layer of the cake!!!!

I wish I was that creative!

I was going to say the cookie idea, too. Or, if you are really in a pinch, you could just get bikes from the cake store and stick them on there.

I like the cookies, best, though.

I'm so glad I could help! When you said you needed an idea I immediately thought of the website that I had been checking out earlier in the day with tons of cute cookies. I wish I could take the credit but the cookie's aren't mine. You can see more creative cookies at http://www.parkavepastries.com.

I think someone just did one of these cakes with the triathlon theme...I'd look in the gallery under sports, maybe??

**edited to add: Ok...ignore my post!! lol I'm an idiot... Thought you were asking about the cake, not the bikes...had to re-read your original post...lol. I go and look up the cake I was thinking about & then realize it was YOURS!!!!! hahhahaha I get it now...sorry.
