I had an unusual thing happen to me when I finished this cake.
I did not want to give it away.
I fell in love with the cake when I made it..and even though the story behind it had nothing to do with me at all...I almost cried when I left it behind with the customer!
For one I think it was because I didn't see the man who was receiving it actually receive it. I delivered it to his wife.
There was no room full of people greeting me with smiling and excited faces..
although his wife was really happy with it!
I love seeing the expression on peoples' faces when they receive a birthday cake or cupcakes from me!
Secondly, I think I was really proud of it.. and it told a story-about the family that I worked on it for.
It meant so much more than just a typical cake.
I was emotionally attached!

My inspiration: Vintage Baseball. |
This was a framed photo I found at a Hobby Lobby, and my ultimate inspiration for this cake! I took a cell phone photo as my brain filled with loads of creative ideas! |
It's his 60th birthday! Had to add some celebration! |
A photograph of Bob is framed on his cake next to some vintage baseball stars. |
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks..... |
