Cakes for Iraq

A friend from the FRG asked me earlier this month to put together a couple cakes for her husband and friend who are in Iraq with Phil's squadron. She intended to mail them their way in time for their birthdays. How fun is that? I did my best to make something that might hopefully survive the time and postal service handling. Here's what I came up with...
I built them on the lid of ziplock like containers that fit snugly, hoping it would hold them both in place for the long journey.
I've been waiting rather impatiently to see the results and finally got this from Cristina the other day...
Yeah not so good, but the guys enjoyed them anyway!
Hope you guys had a really Happy Birthday, Brad and Boomer! We'll see you home soon!

So if it is true when they say messy food tastes the best, these cakes look pretty tasty! I am sure that they weather over there played hacoc on the fondant. At least you could still tell what they were suppose to look like and it is the thought that counts. I am sure the guys know that it came from the heart. I am so proud that you did not turn it down our of fear that they wouldnt make it. Good Job!
