Road Of Life Cake

I made this cake for my father's 70th birthday last weekend. It is a journey through the four states that he has lived in - starting in Wisconsin, California, Alaska and then Maryland. The postcards are edible images on fondant. Cake is covered in buttercream with fondant accents. I'll post some follow-up pictures of each side of the cake as you can't see everything at the same time.

I got the idea of the postcards from a cake that Duff created. Then I did some searches here for roads and found some great ideas about how to have the road wrap around the cake. Gotta love CC! Thanks.
