A cool cake for a cool guy. I bet there wasn’t a dry eye in the house, its a fantastic tribute, you’ve done an amazing job, love the roadsigns and the picture frames. X

Thank you! They had a video to go with it, and the videographer said he teared up while making the video! I had the script, & I started crying while reading parts of it to my husband!

wonderful cake!

Beautiful, and I like it even more when I read that it slowly rotated. I have been thinking about something similar to this for my father-in-law on his 90th birthday, who is WWII Purple Heart Veteran. Into my Favorites it will go.

A beautiful cake to go with a beautiful story. Well done!

Thank you all!

Theresa, I ordered the heavy-duty rotating Christmas tree stand from Walmart. Then I had a friend cut a 20" round cake base, to which he added a small wooden block underneath to attach a metal pipe flange. The flange held a 1" pipe, but the pipe was too big to fit in the base, so I bought a reducer to drop down to a 3/4" pipe & it worked perfectly! Very sturdy, too. You just drop the pipe down in the base as if it were the trunk of the tree & tighten the screws to secure it! The base is huge—-24" across, & the cake was elevated about a foot above the table. And God bless your father-in-law! Thank him for his service!

Brilliant, such a lovely cake!
