Tour De France birthday cake
Sunday, August 10, 2008 at 10:20PM 
I have been a bit busy of late and haven't had a much of a chance to post anything on the blog so I have a bit of a backlog. I will eventually get to it but in the meantime I'll post a picture of the birthday cake I made for the other half for his birthday.
He is a keen cyclist and has been glued to the Tour De France over the last few weeks, so I thought a stage of the tour would be a good idea for a cake. Carving an unusual shape for the mountain and icing it was most fun but making the bicycle was a bit of a chore and I eventually thought that it would be easier to make a broken bike and a rather battered, bruised and disheveled looking cyclist. Throughout the tour you notice a lot of graffiti on the road, mainly for a local terrorist separatist group and large scale male and female genitalia, but I thought it might be a tad more tasteful just to put some of the competitors names on the road instead. He was really impressed with it so I will now use this as leverage for almost any household task for the next thirty plus years.

I love that he's beaten down and bruised. Definately save the earned credit for some heinous household chore.
