Birthday Loot and Limited Edition 8" WSM... Cake
« on: March 30, 2015, 07:08:31 AM »
Yesterday was my birthday, and I got some awesome new loot! My wife got me the Master-Touch, and my mom got me the tool set, the 18" OTG ash catcher, the grill basket, and the dutch oven lid holder.

Not only did I get some awesome new toys, but my wife made me the most amazing cake ever! An 8" reproduction of the 22" WSM  ;D

Here's my loot:


And a new family pic:


And last but certainly not least, the awesome cake!:

I actually haven't cut into it yet. She didn't finish it until last night, and with all the work she put into it, and how awesome it looked, I couldn't cut it!

I will be cutting it after lunch today though. It's chocolate with chocolate ganache and raspberry filling, so I'm sure it's going to taste as amazing as it looks :D

Now the username makes sense ... I keep trying to earn a username something like "BeerRecipient" or "CashRaker" but so far, no joy.

Congrats!

Damn, the detail on that cake is amazing! Even the little indentations on the housing of the thermometer, very impressive. Nice haul there, can't wait to see that master touch in action.

Damn. When I make suggestions of Weber gifts for special occasions I get shot down. You gotta be doing something I am not.

That cake is a 10 out of 10 on the cool scale.

Here's the cut cake pics as requested :)

The lid and charcoal bowl were actually rice krispy treats, so they didn't get cut into. The charcoal bowl had to be rice krispy treats for support reasons, and she figured she'd just do the lid the same way since there was already more cake than we could possibly need!

First two pics are of the top cake, which doesn't have the raspberry filling, so it's just chocolate (for structural reasons). The next two pics are the raspberry/chocolate filled cake, which was absolutely delicious :D
