So, no one ever, and I mean ever, fusses over my Uncle Bill. This year my mom came up with this brilliant idea to make this amazing cake for his 55th birthday. He happened to be in town over this special day from his hometown of gorgeous San Antonio. He had no idea and was quite surprised when I came walking in with this amazing cake! 

We have a vulture buzzard (made my mom), barbed wire, saguaro, barrel and prickly pear cacti, wagon wheels, rope lassos, a faux-leather tooled name, mini Texas stars, and of course, a bleached cow skull.  

I love this cake!! And I love repeat customers! The husband of the year award goes to the husband who surprised his wife with a night at a resort and a mini replica of their wedding cake (which they did not get even one slice). Even the leftovers were eaten by relatives! After all the rave reviews he decided that night he would order a mini version for his sweet new bride on their one year anniversary. He had the cake ready and waiting in the hotel room where they would celebrate. He told me later she was surprised and so happy!! They thoroughly enjoyed every bite.
