Admiring the Cake
Notice storm chasers vehicles on the road
The candles in the tornado were lit also

Guess which one had the birthday!

And another tornado in the kitchen!
Using a 2x10 piece of lumber that was approximately 2' long, they attached an 18" dowel to one corner. They then covered the board with foil or something on which to place the cake.
I think the cake was probably 2 - 9x13 inch cakes, baked, and set end to end and frosted.
The tornado itself was constructed of Rice Krispie treats molded around the dowel and stabilized with macrame cord or twine, then frosted with gray frosting. Candles, cars, sheep, cows, etc. had all become victims of the swirling tornado, which you can see from the photo.
I've made a lot of theme birthday cakes in my time, but this one far surpassed any barns, clowns, John Deere, or Thomas cakes I've ever made! Good job, Mom and Dad! It was amazing!
What was the most fun birthday cake you've ever made? I'd love to hear about it!
