Last week I finally got the chance to get back to doing something artistic. Every year our running club has an annual summer picnic and every year my mother in law, sister in law and I make a cake. This year was the 40 year anniversary of the running club so we were asked if we could make something this year that celebrates that milestone. In past years we have always had a ton of left over cake so we opted to make cupcakes. My poor mother in law spent countless hours making 72 chocolate 40's and with only 2 molds it took her way too long. Once I baked and frosted the cupcakes she topped them with the 40s boxed them up and they were ready to go. For a statement piece we made Hermes sandal with wings going back to the original logo. we also made a chocolate Wolf which is our current logo and a chocolate sign showing our 40th anniversary patch. When all was said and done we couldnt have been more pleased. Here are a few detail shots of the finished set up.

ReplyDeleteThis is great! I love the wings. How did you attach them, weren't they heavy?
ReplyDeleteThanks. When I made the wings I built them around 2 dowels (like the size of a bamboo skewer) I made sure they were the right size and angle to reach the bottom of the cake when inserted for added support. They were on the heavy side but with the proper placement and support weight is not an issue.
