Gone Fishin’

There’s a guy at work who loves fishing. As a matter of fact, right above his desk on a cork board, is the phrase, “Eat…Sleep…Fish!” He even takes as many Friday afternoons off as he can so he can drop a worm in the water.

I saw the swedish fish (they’re on the side of the cake) and thought I’d make him a fishing cake for his birthday. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a boat, so I had to make one out of gumpaste…but, it looked enough like a boat for me to go ahead and put it on the cake :-).

He doesn’t really eat much cake, but he likes it when I bring it in to work because he’s always one of the first ones in there to get a slice! Can’t wait to see his face tomorrow 🙂

 

Our Handyman

My husband loves to work in wood. He built a big 10 x 12 storage building in our backyard; not from a kit or “plans”. He designed it and built it.

The next year, I decided I would rather have hard wood floors instead of carpet. He went right to work on it and laid the most beautiful hardwood floors, all by himself.

Now, he is working on a quilt box for one of our loved ones for Christmas. I have been so impressed with the care he has taken with each piece he cuts and joins to another. He is truly a “Handy” man to have around the house, so I made him this cake to let him know how special he is to all of us.
