I got a call tonight for a cake needed for Nov. 12th ... this lady's daughter is into barrel racing with horses .. she said if I couldn't do that theme, to just do a horse on a cake ..

anyone have any idea's for barrel racing with a horse? lol

Wow, something that's very close to my heart. I have been a rodeo cowgirl all of my life, so maybe I can help you out. What I would do is I would go to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo homepage and find a picture of a barrel racer. Once you locate a picture I would use that to do a fbct or something to that nature. You could also write "turn and burn" somewhere next to the picture(slang term) if you want to. I hope this helps! Please post a picture, I'm always asked for horse and rodeo themed cakes and it would be great to see your finished product!

thanks cakemaker I'll see if I can find a pic of something that I can do .. I've only done one fbct and it didn't work out for me .. hopefully this time around it will

I just found this message so I might be too late but I found this picture and thought it might help. Maybe you could do it in fondant and do the rope like you did around the border for your little cowboy baby and boot?? Hope this helps some. Here is the link:

Here are 10 pages of barrel racing pictures ... alot of them black & white.

Turn & Burn is a great saying for the cake.

I right click on the image I want to see
then click "open link in new window"
then click up top next to the image on "See full-size image" to get a good picture of just the image without the rest of the webpage.
If you like the image right click on it and
click " save picture as" to save

Thanks ladies for all your wonderful suggestions... I had a hard time deciding which one of the pics I wanted to use because they were all so good!! I used the slang "turn and burn" as suggested .. they loved the cake.. thanks again!

Your cake turned out great!! I'm sure she will love it!

wow, that is awesome. I love the shadow pictures myself!

Great job.
