One of our SWAT members is about to retire. I need an idea for a cake. I am thinking about a gun theme but for the life of me can not really come up with one. It will have to feed a lot of people. He is also a member of the Bomb Squad. So I am really not sure the direction I should go. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I did a search in the galleries but didn't see any that really jumped out at me. There wasn't that many posted.

If it's a lot of people, I'd start with a sheet cake and come up with things to put on it. What about one of the sphere sports ball pans decorated to look like a "bomb"? Hehe. Or a border that looks like bullets. You could say, "Going out with a bang!" Errm, I don't know if that's in bad taste.

Anyway, good luck, have fun!

Found this in the gallery. Maybe it will help. At least half of it might. ha ha.

gun aimed at a recliner or fishing tackle or (what ever his hobby is)

"here's to taking aim at a great retirement! Here's hoping it'll be "da bomb!"

ready!

Aim!

RETIRE!!!

(don't bomb this...only one chance to get it right)

We did a cake for a gun dealer and the writing was done to look like bullet holes.

Here is a link to a gun cake in the Fathers day contest.
