When Hunter/Decorators Bake
August 25, 2008 
Here we have a cake so testosterone-charged that I bet any female within a ten foot radius will spontaneously sprout a beard and crave flannel. No tinker-toy plastic deer or tractors for Robert - hoo no; this is a guy who eats danger for breakfas... er, I mean dessert. No sissy exclamation points after his name, either: "Robert" must always be pronounced with deadly determination. In fact, after this he's going shark-fishing: alone, in a rowboat, at night, and with only his trusty blade, lure, and flashlight to aid him. So you'd best cut him an extra big slice.
Thank you! Celeritas

very good
Maryo,
You are obviously a woman of great intellegence and sophistication (or a recent mental institution escapee). :-P
The very last "Scene From a Hat" on this is cake-related. This is a clip from Whose Line Is It Anyway? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2OKpzk83ts&NR=1
Too funny!! I absolutely love your description of this cake and the man behind it.
As much as I wouldn't choose a camo cake, I have to admit this is better looking than the previous camo cake (the one with the post title that was something about losing appetite).
Except... what's not better is the disturbing colors of the lettering. It's sort of brownish gray and grayish brown, mixed together. It ...it... yuck, I can't go there. Y'all can use your imaginations.
LoL i like this is Original,me gusta,if you want to pass over my blog

Ok, this is the first one that I could see a member of my family actually buying.
It would have gone well with my nephew's party where he received a knife, a gun, and some black powder. (And a digital camera from grandma!)
Strangest party of my life!
His hobbies obviously include hunting, fishing, and not paying the electric bill.
Wow...I have chest hair now!
The weirdest part for me is the text... "Happy birthday! Robert". As if it's saying, "Happy birthday from Robert". That's the biggest disaster of the cake, I think the rest is just up to taste... GET IT? HAHAHAHA!
Nice blog you got here!
Your cakes made me smile, I'm going to order one today as its my sister's birthday today!
Congratulations on being awarded Blogs of Note!!!

Unfortunately I think my hubby would probably love this cake *gasp!* ... I've tried soo hard to try and refine him LOL ;-)
Oh, the colors are scary.
I saw a funny cake today on another website, can't decide if it's a success or a wreck, I suppose it depends if one's a StarWars fan or not.

The machismo in that cake is phenomenal. I do have to say, though, that the only time I've seen something the color and consistency of the icing used for the lettering was when it was coming out of the wrong end of my cat. I don't think I'd ever be able to bring myself to put that in my mouth.
I will, however, give the decorator credit for choosing an idea and sticking with it...boldly.
What cake could not be improved by a flick knife! :)
When I read the inscription on this cake, I hear the voice-over guy from the Rambo movies.
"Happy Birthday!"......ROBERT"
(cue dramatic music)
Why oh why do people still believe that camouflage is appetizing? And is that a REAL flashlight? Good Gawd!
Interesting blog. I enjoyed reading. Thanks
I make marble cake every now and again, but this has inspired me to try different colours sometime (uh probably not camouflage though). Great idea there.
LOLOLOL.
I sent this to my Sister. Her husband's name is Robert and he is an avid hunter. Not so much with the fishing but still.
While the cake itself is one big hot mess, your descriptions of it really hits my g-spot..
When my cousin got married, their wedding cake had a knife and a grenade (plastic I think) on top. They do live in Nevada and like to hunt, but still, it was a wedding. I was horrified. At least this cake is for a birthday.
Can you imagine cleaning off that flashlight? Plus, a rusty knife? Really?
I am assuming that is gull poo in the top right corner of the cake.
Someone really wants tetanus for their birthday.
There's a fish hook on the cake. A fish hook. Really? On a cake? Isnt that dangerous?! ;) xx
My grandma was a cake decorator and passed her skills on to me, I daresay she would have held her own with the likes of the Cake Boss and such. As a decorator who does my best to give the customer what they want, I'd say the decorator of the above cake didn't do too bad of a job. I also grew up in the mountains listening to country and anticipating hunting season every year when my godmother would come stay at our house for a week. My mother was the fisherwoman in the family. My son will most likely grow up as "almost-redneck" as I did. His family on his father's side is indeed VERY redneck. If I can find someone that does a better job of creating camo then this probably similar to how his 1st birthday cake will look. On another note... I LOVE this blog. As a decorator and as an average everyday person who may someday receive a wreck for some special occasion.
