Tractor

Last time Helen was here, she went shopping for a bundt pan. She wanted one that was a bit more decorative than usual but did not find what she wanted. Tom, on the other hand, was delighted to discover a pan in the shape of a tractor. In honor of Chriss Kimball's visit, he tried his first experiment, and this is a picure of the results, all decorated to look like a Farmall. (Tom doesn't have any use for John Deere.)

The tractor looks pretty good -- it is a red velvet cake with colored icing decorations.

Chris, on the other hand, got part of the way here and started having some stomach problems. So he headed back home and now we have this big cake and a pot roast to eat on for the rest of the week.

Pretty cool cake, though. They also make a bundt pan that looks like a castle and one like a cathedral and one that looks like a sports stadium, in case anyone is interested in getting fancy with their desserts.
