Birthday redux

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.

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. :)

Need an address to where to send my piece?

Happy belated Birthday!

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.
