Ride like the wind Odie!
by admin on Aug.10, 2009, under Personal
Following the success of my Odie cake, I decided to go ahead and design a cake for my girlfriend’s birthday.
Being a long-time Garfield fan (hence Odie being the prototype) I went ahead and designed a Garfield/Odie cake; specifically Garfield riding Odie, using Odie’s ears as reigns.
Since the original Odie cake took around seven hours to make from start to finish, I decided to break the process of this cake up over a couple of nights.
Thursday night was spent baking the five cakes, Friday was spent cutting the cakes into shape and applying the initial layer of white icing.. where I soon discovered I in fact required six cakes.
Saturday morning from 10am onwards was spent cooking the additional cake, and applying the coloured icing and outlines to the overall cake.
With only an hour to spare before the start of the party at 7pm I completed the cake. The final product; as you see below:
Happy Birthday Michelle - may all your dreams but one come true, so that you always have something to strive for! xx
