I am normally quite good at coming up with ideas, but just went blank when given this cake order. I normally find it hard to think of cake ideas for men at the best of times.......but given the brief of an appreciation cake for a male Pastor is making it 10 times worse.
Help, Help, Help me please I can't think of anything. I want to make it humorous, with a slight religous element but also fun icon_confused.gif .........See told you it was hard. I only have a few weeks to think of something and time is running out.


Help, all ideas welcome icon_cry.gif

Is there something "unique" about this pastor - like is he Italian, really like food, etc? For example, my pastor is Italian so for him, something "Godfather-ish" would be something he'd love. He also LOVES to eat, so something to do with food would be good, too.
Hope that helps a little!

Thank you for your idea......thinking about it now he is from the West Indies, Jamaica. So maybe I could do some thing with this in mind.

Again thank you Amycakes for your idea.

You could write something like "Thank you for being the salt of the Earth" and put a salt shaker on the cake. Or you could do a cake in the shape of a sun (or a lighthouse or a candle) and write on it "Thanks for letting your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:16). That's all I can think of right now.

I'm THINKIN'! I'm THINKIN'! LOL

When I think of Jamaica, I think of beaches IMMEDIATELY! Beaches takes me to water.....water to Noah! How about a Noah's ark cake with something like "Thank You for saving us from troubled waters!" or "Keep on Rowin!....we're tryin' as hard as we can!" LOL

Just a thought. It's late and I'm mad at the "Cable Guy" who was late hooking up hubby's HDTV! LOL
