Title: New Ripper
Post by: Aussie Mark on September 04, 2011, 04:00:12 PM
No naked women jumped out of my birthday cake on Saturday night, but it was still a very cool cake.  The entire thing is edible apart from the strings!

The board the cake is sitting on is 40" long, so it's almost a full size replica :-)

Well, I would hope so. You wouldn't want a short scale cake.  ;D

I once used a bass string to remove a windsheild from a car after watching the junk yard employees use an old speedometer cable. Multi use!  ;D
