Marshall

I made this cake Sunday (1.25.09) for my boyfriend's dad, Marshall. He collects '57 Chevrolets. I was going to make a cake in the shape of the car, but I ended up doing something easier instead. I made the Chevy "V" and Happy Birthday "dots" out of fondant. I guess I could've done better, but I was trying to rush. I was upset when I first colored the icing because it was PINK instead of red! And it wasn't turning out like I wanted it to. My sister said, "Well, if it doesn't turn out good you can always put it on Cake Wrecks!" I don't think it's that bad, even if it does, for some reason, remind me of a drive-in movie theater! But, HEY...they had drive-ins in '57 (I think).
