hi every body ,i want make cake for my DH ,He is in los vegas now for jewelry show and come back home next week .do you have any idea for welcome back cake?? .I want something very cute ,thanks a lot

does he have any hobbies?

HE loves scuba diving and watching TV and ice cream.I don't have any idea for the cake

how about doing a sofa cake like the one in your photos, only make a figure wearing scuba gear sitting on the couch watching tv. the tv could be made out of cake or rice crispies. maybe have a bowl of ice cream sitting in his lap.

Wow, ladyhitman that is a great idea! I couldn't think of anything better.

thanks, just wish i could come up with ideas for myself lol im stuck on a luau theme right now

wow ,very funy, make me laugh thinking about my DH wearing his scuba gear and eating ice cream in front of TV but I am not that good to making all this detail. I wish I could. but thank you so so much,love your idea

oh im sure you can do it. I looked at your cakes and you and fondant seem to be friends lol. Besides how will you know wether or not you can do it unless you try. This would be the best time to do it since the cake would be for ur DH. I think u can do it

you can do a vegas themed cake with ring pops as the jewelry.

all you need for vegas is some poker chips

maybe you can buy a few chocolate gold coins at the side and fan out some fondant 'cards' place a few jewels (like the ring pop i spoke about or some fondant pearls etc.)
at the side then put "i hit the jackpot with you babe, welcome back or something.

Hope it helps good luck!!

P.s. - to make the board fancy you can put a mardi type of mask beside it you know the ones with feathers at the side you can find that at a costume shop

OK GUYS!!!!!!!!!! ,thank you so much for helping me and telling me to try it ,ok i will try,I think for sofa , Tv and ice cream i can figure it out but for the scuba man ???? I need your help, I don't know how to do that,thanks
again for your time and idea

you could make the scuba guy out of fondant. i think it would just be a matter of rolling out ropes of fondant in different sizes and then flattening out two peices for the flippers. please post a pic so we can see what you came up with!!

Look I'm also new in doing figurines but I found a book at Michaels called "Imagine your world in clay" by Maureen Carlson and it shows you the basics to do it, just change the clay for fondant or GP. I loved it because it's a good book for beginers but there are a lot more books if you want to check them out. I hope this helps.

oh thanks for posting that miny, i am gonna have to go buy that book cause im not so good at figures either

wow! I think I'm going to be looking for that book too! Thanks for posting this.

Thank you all, very very much

I also would like to make one for my husband, but i'm very new at this, so please, in case you make can you help me and also can you post the picture.
thanks.

sorry guys, my son was sick and I was alone with 3 kids in the house I have to make somthing much easer, I make this cake for him and I use a real bottle,but the cake is so yummy and maybe it is good idea for a gift you give a cake and a mini liqeuer too,and you can use the same flavor to the cake if it's for an adult ,this cake is Bailey's Irish cream cake but we don't have mini Irish cream liqeuer at home
I hope you like it and thanks again for that nice idea(forgive me about my english)

Great job, your cake came out really nice, see?, you don't need our help, girl you do great on your own!!!, I wish I could do wood panels as yours. I bet your DH loved it.
Now what I would love is for you to share your Bailey's cake recipe, sounds soooooooo yummy, I hope you can, if you do, can you please pm me?
Thanks and again congratulations!!
