My Son's 13th Birthday Cake!

[LeewayeDiscGolf]

My wife and I wanted to do something crazy for my son's birthday. It was his 13th, a teenager. So we went with a full blown disc golf basket cake. We knew he'd love it and we spent some time on it. We modeled it after a DISCatcher, complete with inner chains. The frame, after the cake is gone, can have a basket added and will work just fine as a real mini basket. My wife made minis out of fondant and cookies. Which I then made up (my 1st time with a pastry bag) to look minis he would like. There's a Marshall Street, an Innova, a tye-dye Happy Birthday, his DGCR number, and of course, a DGCR mini. The stand is covered in grass mats and chocolate rocks. The basket and top are cakes. The hole number is 13 for obvious reasons.
He absolutely loved it, I enjoyed making it, and I hope you guys enjoy checkin' it out. Lemme know what you think.

You should have airbrushed some Twinkies with brown food coloring and set them in a pile under the basket with little plastic flies on top (edible doggy doo-doo!); then left a few empty, crumpled up "candy cigarette" packs resting on top of the basket, for that "public park" effect.

Nice cake!

I woulda had to have empty PBR cans, a huge group of shirtless frat boys, and a random oblivious pedestrian, then it woulda felt like home.

Very cool, and nice job pulling it all together.

My son, who just turned 13, was an Innova Discatcher for Halloween last fall. His bar mitzvah's coming up in about six weeks, and for the lunch reception afterward I'm borrowing Mini Discatchers from several DG acquaintances to use as centerpieces on at least some of the tables, and just a couple of days ago got the shipment of Little Flyer minis with his name, the date, and a graphic of a kippah (yarmulke) flying toward a basket with "Mazel Tov" on the top band and a number plate on top with "13" on it.

No, those guys are jerks. When we were in Baltimore we stopped by and they have all their windows covered in black plastic so you can't see in and if you stop too long to take a photo they will call the police.
