I think this is a good cake to end my fondant/cake exploration journey on. I planned on doing just one cake a month, but even that was too much. I'm ready to start something different. I really want to pick up a paintbrush and start painting again. I've said that several times over the years. Now is the time. Stay tuned.
This cake was make for a friend's grandpa who turned 80. He was a handyman and often worked on lawnmowers. A toolbox and the number 80 built from wood is the direction I was going.
Carrot cake was made for the old school toolbox.
This was my first time using Rice Krispie treats as sculpture pieces. It was a little daunting at times, but I worked through it and of course ate what I didn't use.
The 80 was red velvet cake.

So awesome!
What a great cake! So creative!
You are so very talented and patient with this! Sad to see you end it but excited to see what you come up with next!! Loved the detail of the "boards" on the top of the 80.
WOW! What a neat cake!!
