Hittin’ the Dirt

My friend’s son loves dirt biking with his dad. They don’t get much time together because the dad just works so much – but dirt biking is their thing. He actually came up to me at church and had found something he wanted on his 12th birthday cake. He asked if I could carve the fox head out of cake – then he wanted the colors red, orange and yellow, like “fire” on the cake…I was tickled when the recipe I chose for carving worked out so well…there were hardly even any crumbs, yet the cake was firm and moist. Decorating this one was less difficult than I expected, so it turned out to be one of the easiest cakes I have done, thus far.
