Finished Object Friday

Wow! It seems like it's been ages since we did FOF! The last few weeks have been so busy...

I've made another cake... This one was fun, and different from others. It was an ambulance!

(Mom did the writing for me. I need to work on that, but I don't like my handwriting!) :)

Here is the design. (My thoughts on paper!)


I did a thin layer of chocolate frosting to help seal in the crumbs and make it easier to decorate.

I was really excited about accomplishing this design because it has the possiblity of becoming so many things... a dump truck, a semi, or even a fire truck.

Andrew is a friend from church who is also an EMT. He leads a small group meeting on Mondays. We are doing the Truth Project. We wanted to do something special for his birthday and to thank him for his dedication. I believe we surprised him! :)

Think he liked his cake?
It was just perfect that he wore his uniform that evening. Before we did the cake, one of the guys asked where his ambulance was. I said "Here it is!" and handed him his cake! Perfect timing.

Mark and I went up to visit his family last weekend. Sunday they have kids club at church and needed to have a snack for the kids. They wanted to do something special for Easter (they aren't having kids club on Easter day.) With all our heads put together, we came up with this idea out of cookies and I decorated it.

I don't know if you can see the "stone" to the right. We cut it out while the cookies were still warm and shaped it. These were just frozen cookie dough. (Oh, and this is an example of my writing... I need a little more space between "He" and "is!") I thought it was a good idea for a fast Easter dessert for kids! :) Fun too.

I'm excited for this FOF! I can't wait to see what you've been up to. :) In case you've forgotten how, the guidelines can be found here. Don't forget to check back to see who all has joined in, and to drop by their blogs.
