A perfect surprise 50th birthday cake: a black 1979 Corvette L82 chocolate cake. The birthday boy's spouse had been planning this surprise for over 6 months. I guess it would be more of a surprise if it was the real thing!
And here are some photos on how it all began.... Somehow, I had to turn these chocolate cake layers into a sleek corvette.
Oh, my Dad would LOVE this cake!!! He has a black '74 vette. If only I had your talent!
ReplyDeleteThis cake is awesome! I especially love the tire skids on the back of the cake board!
