Okay so it has been a couple months since I made my chiefs retirement cake. But her it is. It was a full sheet cake, half strawberry and half cannoli cake. The writing is very child like and well my rice cereal treat molds were much better than when I first tried to make it. I am not super proud of the final product but I was happy with it, I am a little hard on myself only because it does not look as professional as a normal retirement cake. I am happy because the family was happy. Because of this cake I am surely making plans to take the 2 week Wilton decorating school and get a diploma in Pastries at the Art institute of Virginia Beach.
I made a "dixie cap" with the name of his first ship and tried to make a chief's cover. Around the edge of the cake I used Ghirardelli Dark Cocoa chips. Once again I thank Mr. Hickman and his family for allowing me to make a cake for such a momentous occasion.
