Fire Helmet and Hose
(14" base) Serves 100. $500. This cake was a big undertaking for me. Major Randy Brown of the Cordele Fire Dept. is retiring, and I had the honor of making the cake for his party. First, let me give credit to Mike Findley. He's a fellow firefighter of Trevor's, and came up with the idea to make the base look like a rolled up hose. Also, the know-how for the structural design of the helmet came from a blog I found while researching and planning. DDPie's Slice at www.ddpiesslice.blogspot.com/2009/02/fire-chiefs-helmet-cake.html is worth a look. She is amazing. The base is a two-layer almond pound cake. The helmet was baked in a pyrex mixing bowl and two 10" pans. The badge, eagle and all other decorations are made of MMF.The whole cake measured about a foot high and was really heavy. Congratulations, Major Brown! We'll miss you.
