Weakley Field Lit

This cake was for a couple who live in a "Fly-in Community". Bob Kier built the frame and wired the lights; Linda, his wife, helped with the runway accents and cleaned my kitchen. This runway cake was approximately 22 x 28 inches and covered in grass made with a #233 tip. It took a LONG time but was worth every squeeze. When the runway lights lit up in the dim light of a hanger, the effect was terrific. Because of the one picture limit, I've only used the dimly lit one to show the field lit.

Troll Wisdom For The Graduate

According to her mother, Katie, the graduate looked a little like a Troll when she was a toddler. So, when we designed the cake, we added a Troll Graduate with some Troll Wisdom. The school colors are blue and gold. It's a little hard to see but the middle-sized cake has an '08 picture frame with Katie's picture.

Our school's band director was retiring. This cake was for him. For those who don't read music, it's "Taps". He read it immediately.
