The First Legal Friend

Robert has frequented the blog before. He was the lucky boy to get the reenactment cake of his run-in with a deer. :) Regardless, Robert was the first of my group of friends to turn 21!! Here is where it all started. Our friend Scheck had a co-op at a construction site, and they let him take this construction sign as a parting gift. He made it into a pong table for Robert!

So Emily, Robert's girlfriend, helped me recreate the pong table into a cake!! Just plain vanilla cake with buttercream icing. But I tried something new. The spilled "beer" is actually melted sugar! I have seen sugar work done on so many cake and sweets shows, so I figured we could try it. It was a bit hard to work with at first, but it turned out perfect. This was the first round set up at my house.
And this is at Robert's party, with his pong table as the display table. I don't like to make appearances on my own blog, buttttttt I really loved this cake and it was for a special guy. (Yes, this was an empty beer can that was drunk by an over 21-year old)
Happy Birthday Roberto!!! You are such a wonderful friend and one of those brothers I never had. I hope you had a great time at your party. I know we all did. Love ya buddy! -Sarah
