All my practicing was done, it was almost time to make the birthday cakes I had set out to do. But, there was one more stop along the way. I found a cool cake pan in the shape of a motorcycle on the internet and purchased it before I drove to Maine. My brother Chip has a birthday right after Christmas, and his son Dakota thought it was pretty cool that I was making cakes like Buddy Valastro and Duff Goldberg. So on Chip's birthday, I made a cake in the shape of a motorcycle, covered in black fondant and brought it over to decorate with Dakota.
Dakota decided that it needed a second layer of green fondant and then the shape of the motorcycle cut out and decorated - something he had seen on one of the shows - so that is what we did. We decorated all day. Dakota did all of the work cutting out and painting the details of the motorcycle and Chip was very impressed with his work. I was just happy to spend the day with Dakota, outside of an ice arena!
