Wanna go for a run?

Paul's Dad's visiting this week. It happens to be his birthday. He happens to love running. So, he happened to get running shoe cakes! They were so much fun to make. I wasn't very good at cutting the cake to look like running shoes....I think they look more like clown shoes. But, I thought I did a good job with the decoration! I can't say I was totally original with this design. I had a lot of help from this link (isn't it odd what google can find...shoe cakes?)

I love the shoes!! What a fantastic idea. I think you did a real bang-up job. I'm sure the "birthday boy" as tickled. He looks it.

Wow Megan! This looks fantastic! You are super ambitious when it comes to birthday cakes!
It is funny about what you can google. What did we do before google?

Very, very cool! I envy your cake decorating skills. They are not clown shoes, just for runners with big feet!

That's the best pair of running shoes I've ever seen! I think they look fabulous. I'm also a runner and I hope I get a cake like that for my birthday.
