I was asked to make a "roller coaster cake" for the grandson of dear friends of ours. He turned 6...

...today.

I have always appreciated Marilyn's talents with GBHs, so I enlisted my wife and son to help decorate, as I knew from reading about Marilyn's adventures, I couldn't do this alone.

Note the Teddy Grahams waiting in line for the ride.

Twinkie cars.

The little guy was thrilled!

Wonderful!! Love the line of 'kids' waiting for the ride. Excellent use of twinkles?

Are you a trained chef? You have so many talents in the kitchen. Well done!

You are all very nice. Thank you for the kind words. It was a very special day...

...in that the little guy turning 6 got to spend the day with his Dad, his Grandparents and his Great-Grandparents. (His Mom was back in Texas, caring for his older sister. She is severely disabled.) Four generations in one home!

It was a privilege to be a part of it.

The little guy was thrilled, and his Grandparents, who are our dear friends and mentors, were very generous with their praise. His Great-Grandparents are nearly 90, and they had a blast!

A truly special day.

Lisa, I know what you mean, but I couldn't resist. They are a special family to us!

 

[michael-in-phoenix]

Thanks, Karen, but I'm just a humble pirate. Actually, a home cook who knows...

...enough to be dangerous.

Plus, I baked my first cake when I was 8, so I've had time to practice!

Wow Michael, great job!

We had to put a "line" in there, in honor of Disneyline.

My son takes after his mother. He can do ANYTHING well.
