I am at a loss. I need an idea for a plumber cake. It only has to feed a small family, 4 - 6 people. Any ideas?

How about the plunger cake?

How about a plunger ?

I saw one on here somewhere and thought it was a neat idea.

a toilet seat would be funny or how about a pipe wrench. that would be good too. or you could do a pair of jeans with the plumbers you know hanging out. that would be funny too. just some suggestions. not sure what your type of humor is.

Thanks for the suggestions. The plunger is hilarious.
This is my first time here and I will use it again.
Thank you all.

I'm going to have to agree with born2bake4u. I think the plumbers notorious hind quarters should be on the cake....if the family has a good sense of humor and wouldn't be offended...otherwise maybe stick with the tools

I agree, a plumber's crack would be great!

how about a toilet? Here is one I did. You don't have to put it on a large sheet cake - so it could serve less.

I'd love to see a cake showing his quarter slot!

love the toilet seat. i will have to use it for my hubbies 50th, in a couple of years.

OMG!!! SLK- What a realistic cake!!!

You know how people get upset that no one will cut the cake? I bet no one was screaming to have their piece that day!! Totally awesome!!!

My DH just walked by the computer and said, "EEEWWWWWW"!!! Ha Ha! Again, great cake.

Thanks msauer. The kids couldn't wait to cut into it - the adults on the other hand were a bit more hesitant.

How about a cake in the shape of that drain? The one that all my kids stuff gets stuck in

I did one a couple of weeks ago; but the photos are not developed yet. I drew an old fashioned drain with the drain stopper and chain in the background. I drew a guy in the drain hanging on to the edges (basically a guy from the armpits-up) And I took a picture of the actual guy the cake was for and resized it and copied it on my computer, cut out his head and laminated it. I put his head on the body. I wrote something like "It's all down the drain after 50". I also drew blue lines and swirls to look like water going dow the drain with him.

That cake is both a bit gross and clever at the same time. I like it in a troubling kind of way! I'm really hoping no one ever asks me to make a cake like that! I do appreciate the talent it takes though.

As a plumber's daughter & granddaughter, I can say that all those cake ideas are good. The plunger is cute, probably the easiest. The toilet one is priceless! My dad would have loved that...

Have fun!

OMG, is that yellow and brown in the drain? I totally missed that the first time!
