I know there have been posts about this, but I need to ask again. You guys are all so awesome I know you'llh ave a great idea. I found LOTS of inspiration in the galleries, but not sure any will work for me this time. I just got asked to bring a cake to our family's annual father's day cokout. There will be lots of dads there, ranging in age from 26 to 71. I had thought maybe a Harley theme, but that would definitely not work for the 71 year old! Don't want to do a tie, etc. Need something unique and impressive, for a moderate amount of skill. If it could be something on or working with a sheet cake (12x18 size), that would be a big bonus as this will be a 2 hour transport. Have never done any kind of transfers or anything. Come on cake masters!! Inspire me!! 
-how about a dad on a couch holding a remote with a beer in his other hand.
- a drawn on TV screen playing "Father Knows best"
-the grill cake
-Personally, I am doing a cake for my hubby that is him mowing the lawn (using a Matchbox type lawnmower that I happened to find) with his gardens etc... It's his favorite thing to do. Some women are golf widows, I'm a lawn widow.
Have fun!
Ooooh...I like the Father Knows Best idea!
No matter what kind of hobby thing you might explore, when you're talking about a crowd, you will have some hits as well as misses. Hmmmmm...
I was going to suggest an FBCT of a favorite father-type cartoon. I'm attaching one of my faves. I saved it to do an edible image with, but it could be an FBCT just as well. Thought it was cute.
I did a grill cake and it really was a trip but other than a bit of cracking on the side, it came out great. Took me about 3 hours from cake to grill not including making the fondant food which I made 2 days before. Everyone loved it. Its in my gallery and I used the instructions in the articles on here. Good Luck.
That's why I love you guys! 
You are "unfailingly" inspiring and smart at ideas, and creative and talented. I love all of these ideas; I think the Father Knows Best idea would be really good, am going to let these simmer on the back burner for awhile. I also like the grill idea, and the tiger dad image. I have read here that WalMart will make the edible images. Has anyone done this? Thanks again...I'll take any idea from you all any day!! 
Whenever we have family gatherings, the men always congregate together. If this is true of your family, what do the men usually talk about when they're in a group? For example, in my family, it's sports usually-or their gardens (I'm Italian, go figure)
FYI and it may be different at your walmart - I just called mine and they do edible images but you have to buy the cake with it on it 
- well now that just defeats my purpose!!! 
Good luck - I would good for the grill myself!!
