Wish me luck!!!

Current mood: crazy

So I asked Ian this morning what type of theme he wanted for his birthday. He's decided on a skateboarding theme. His heroes being Tony Hawk and Bam Margera, I have been trying to come up with some ideas for his party. At first he wanted a cake with a heartagram on it, which was proving to be a difficult thing for me, as I was unsure how to go about making a huge ass heartagram for the top of his cake. Since he's at school right now, he has no idea what I have schemed up now! I found the pattern/directions to make a cool skateboard cake, that's very simple. Now for the difficult part. I came up with the bright idea to make "bumper stickers" out of royal icing to attach to said skateboard cake. I figured this would make it look that much more like a skateboard, since most skaters slap stickers on their boards. So now I have 3 royal icing "stickers" to make.I've already got the plans rough sketched out on a piece of paper. Now it's the actually doing it part that I'm worried about! So wish me luck that I can pull this off, because if I can do this, then I'm sure I'll be able to pull off Leeanna & Shane's wedding cake next year! lol... Royal icing is a pain to work with, and when doing more than one color, you need to do it in stages. So since I'll be working with a few colors, this should be interesting. Put my cake decorating skills to the test here! I'm going to start on it next week, since they'll need a while to dry in between colors and dry really well before I can attach it to the cake. Ack! What am I thinking?! lol!!!
