Vintage Birthday

7/28/2013

Sometimes a design idea escapes me until I am actually in progress of putting it all together. This was one of them. I knew I needed to make a 50th birthday cake with a Vintage theme. I wanted old signs, something to represent the recipients love of cycling and basketball and make a mention of his dream to one day have a Harley Davidson.


Originally I thought I would make a fondant motorcycle and place it on the top of the cake but that proved to be a bit of a challenge.


So as I was making my vintage signs I decided to paint on a motorcycle as well as bike and basketball elements.


I was very pleased with how my "Harley" turned out since it was done free hand and I only had a picture to go by. I am slowly mastering the art of painting on fondant. This is quickly becoming my new favorite technique.

    My name is Victoria but I have been called Torie most of my life. 
    Outside of my passion for making "edible art" I am first a wife and mother but my other passions are endurance sports. I am a 70.3 Ironman finisher. I love the multi-sport especially the bike and I am currently a member of the Desert Tri Girls in Tucson, AZ.


    It is quite the balancing act to have a family, full-time job, decorate cakes and train but they all bring me great joy.
