Running shoe cake

I believe deep down inside every hipster is the heart of a great big geek. My not so cool side shines through whenever I start talking about cakes. While I am proud of my self for so far managing to avoid the resurgence of gauchos (I don’t care how hot, thin or tall you are - everyone looks four feet tall and four feet wide in these things, yes, even that chick from the Black-eyed Peas looks wrong in them), I’m even prouder of my cakes. I know they aren’t anything for the Food Network or a large scale celebrity wedding, but they make my kids happy.

Anyway, aside from the turcupcakens, here is my first gratuitous cake shot. It’s a cake I made a couple of weeks ago for my friend Nicole’s 40th birthday. She is a tri-athlete, hence the running shoe.

Thanks for humoring me while I display my inner geek.
