I made this cake for my step-son's 11th birthday. He loves all things fireman. He has a tiny little clock that has a helmet on top of a hose and he asked me to make the cake like that. I made the helmet like the directions on this site and I put it on top of an angled 4 layer cake that I put in the center of a real water hose. I wanted to carve a cake to resemble a water hose, but I just don't think I am that talented!!!! He enjoyed his cake! I have another angle of the cake that shows the fbct.
