Rifle cakes - Dave 2018



In 1986 I made the top rifle cake for my husbands birthday. This year I asked my 39 year old son that kind of cake he wanted and he said "you know I like guns".  I though about the cake I had done for his dad (30th birthday) so I thought I'd try to make another gun cake. I obtained one of Dave's guns (actually he inherited this gun from his Grandfather) to use for a life size pattern. It is a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting  and Black & gray fondant accents. I couldn't make the cake smaller so that it matched the actual gun or there wouldn't be much cake to eat.  He will be surprised. Pretty proud of myself my skills have improved over the last 30 years!

Finding cake pictures

I see that it is kind of hard to scroll through several years of cakes to find the wedding cakes so  I believe if you click on the label of the type of cake you want below it will filter only those types of cakes for you to look at.
