Two weeks ago I reported that I was 65.
Well, I didn’t have a picture of the 2×12 my wife gave me.
It’s worth looking at.

Lee that was a great looking cake. What kind of wood was it?
And a saw to cut it how thoughtful.

Now that is a cake that any true Lumberjock would appreciate!! Your wife appears to be a resourceful and creative person with a wonderful sense of humor. :)

Thanks.
The idea was my wife’s. She wanted it to match the oak flooring in the house.
Construction was by “Cakes by Darcey” in Roswell, GA
The design was airbrushed onto the icing. It was a chocolate cake with a caramel filling.
You did notice that the chocolate decorations were a saw, hammer, screwdriver and pliers.
All very tasty.
