i want to do a "sufficated" farm cake.. if that makes any sense. i've done farm cakes for kids, which were fun... i was told perhaps to do a tractor or horse... but really its up to me. all the person wants is a 1/2 sheet cake.. and i am really having a hard time picturing this one...


please help!

thanks

Maybe a picture (BC of Chocolate Transfer or Fondant) of the farmer on his tractor on the cake, and maybe also the farmname on a big sign (with wood effect) on it?

Difficult theme Good luck with it!!

Are you up to 3-d? A 3d tractor would be cool!

If you do a tractor, be sure to find out what kind he owns/is partial too. Believe it or not, that is important to farmers.

i don't think i want to do a 3d, the lady who ordered it wants to have something easy to cut. I want to incorporate all sorts of farms things..

right now i am thing of doing the number 100 on the sheet cake a little bit raised up, then on each letter incorporat something farm? i'm not sure where i am going with this.. but i may have in the middle of the zeros.. do a pasture. the one, i may have the tractor plowing... i don't know.. very vague right now..

any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!!
thanks

what kind of farm.

use images of that for the #.

example: little pigs all lined up

or stalks of corn

field of wheat w/ crop circles

tractor plowing the field (yum..crushed oreos) and the furrows make the numbers

I'm with Doug, I was thinking along the same thing lines. Make the 100 out of vegetables. That would be simple, yet effective. You could make the vegetables out of MMF or candy clay. I did some on a donkey cake last year, a lot of fun to do.

Good luck!

I would for sure find out what type of farm, and then research the "higher tech" items associated with the specific farm....one thing if they had animals that would be different then the norm, maybe put an "electric" wire fence, windmill, gates..go more with shiny silver items

I did this farm grooms cake. I copied this off of a cake I found by Googling "John Deere Cake". The tractor and buildings came from a store in Indy that specializes in model trains. They are H.O. to scale with each other. Pine trees are ice cream cones with royal. Fence is royal. The border was piped to look like corn. The pig was a tiny little toy. Road is done with crushed chocolate cookies.

Picture didn't attach.

OK, I give up. You can see the farm cake in my pics. Thanks

What about icing the cake to look like grass all over and then have the number 100 'mowed' into the icing like someone was harvesting the grass to make the 100? You could have a model tractor on top doing the harvesting Like a crop circle kind of idea? Does this make sense? lol!

di you see those memmory cakes posted in the favorite sheet cake post ??? those where cool or maybe a fbct of an appropriate barn with his age in the tiles of the roof??
