I am making a racecar sheet cake next weekend for a man's 40th birthday. I plan to put a picture of a NASCAR on a sheet cake with different criss-crossed racing flags - black and white, yellow, red, flags.

I was hoping for a clever saying like, "Slow down and enjoy the ride...." Happy 40th Birthday!

Any ideas?????????????

The saying you have there is great! I love things like this, so I'll keep thinking and will let you know if I come up with anything. Post a pic when you are done! I can't wait to see it. I love Nascar!

I'll keep thinking---(I love this kind of challenge) but all I've got right now is
" 40 !!!! You're just getting REVVED UP!!!"

Yeah it's funny because the lady who asked me to do the cake is like, "you are the artist, whatever you think will work...."

Goodness, this is a hard one. I can make a great cake, but coming up with a clever saying is a totally different kind of "art."

"Slow down....40 ahead....!"

I am at a loss!

Ok, I came up with these ideas.........



Be wise with speedHappy 40th Birthday, Tim!

The race begins at 40. Happy Birthday Tim!

Its not the years that count, its the mileage. Happy 40th Birthday, Tim!

Who cares about the mileage . . . just enjoy the ride! Happy 40th Birthday Tim!

"no this isn't a dead end - it's just your 40th birthday"

or something along that line...

I can't think of anything of the bat, and I'm a huge Nascar fan, but one of the Nascar things they do is "im not speeding, I'm qualifying" I don't know if you could tweak it any, but I'll put it out there.
Who's his driver?

I did a cake with a man in a car with the saying "keep on cruisin'!" -- maybe something along those lines?

I like your saying too-- or just '"enjoy the ride"- anyway, good luck!

How about Darryl Waltrip's famous saying:

Boogity, Boogity, Boogity! Let's Go Racing!

Or:
40 Laps Down & The End Is Nowhere In Sight!

40 - Just Warming Up!

Luby -

Thanks for that one! I couldn't think of that guys name (Darryl Waltrip) or the phrase he used.

My new thoughts -

"Boogity, Boogity, Boogity - Tim is 40!"

Thanks for your help everyone! Looks like Luby's saying won the race!

This cake was a lot of work!

I can't figure out how to post the pic in this forum so click on photos below and you will find the cake.
