Description of gift:
A cake decorated to resemble a folded shirt, with a crazy Tie.
Materials:
Rectangular cake, frosting, decorator icing/tips, small candies...
Instructions:
Frost your cake in a white or pastel color. Draw a "collar" at top and centered, with contrasting icing. Draw out a nice "tie", and decorate the tie with candies (ex: mini M&M's) or icing stripes/dots.
Other suggestions or comments:
You could make an easy "border" around your cake by simply pressing Hershey "Hugs" and Kisses along all 4 sides.
Then, give Dad his greeting cards, songs, real hugs n' kisses...and bring on the Ice Cream! ;-) Don't forget to take a Picture of Dad, his special cake...and his special kids.
I've seen some examples of this "shirt cake" in grocery store advertisements. You could borrow their ideas, or just Buy a Cake if you don't want to make one yourself. It's the Sharing part that makes it fun.
