A Birthday Cake Worthy of the Hide

[bogeybrown]

How many times does the comment arise on the Hide about how much we'd love something if only our wives would allow it, or something along those lines?

Well I'm blessed with an amazing girlfriend (and fellow Hider) who not only supports my obsession, but has quite the (growing) arsenal of her own and shares the passion that we all do for shooting and the camaraderie of fellow "gun guys".

I knew that no ordinary birthday cake would be sufficient on her special day, especially with me out of the country for yet another year; so a very talented young cake artist in Tennessee did this for her.

I think you guys will approve.



The whole rifle is made of chocolate, with the pelican case being the cake.

If she doesn't eat the chassis would she be willing to part with it?

 

[ShtrRdy]

Very cool! My wife use to make all sorts of objects out of cake.

 

[bogeybrown]

Sorry, stays together unless the barreled action goes first. Not interested in any trades at this time.

You need some lower rings. And where the hell is the night vision bridge & suppressor?

Bogey that is awesome! Hope Mrs bogey enjoyed her day.

 

[bogeybrown]

Thanks buddy. She seemed to like it, but it won't fit in the refrigerator and she doesn't want to start cutting it up. I told her to just eat the whole thing in one go but she's worried it will make her birthday Margaritas taste funny. Did I mention how proper her priorities are

My priorities would have me eating the part of the cake that's a fake gun, then putting the rest of the cake into the fridge.

When it comes back out, place any handy F T/R real rifle just behind it and take us another pic.

Nothing beats the real deal.

That's awsome bogey. I know she had a great day with that cake.

 

[Maggot]

Sweet.

be careful, don't want the authorities coming down on you for having that without proper paperwork!

 

[jrassy]

That's definately a one-of-a-kind cake! Congrats!

 

[bogeybrown]

Thanks guys. Amazingly the cake was done by an 18yr old who's had some difficulties and instead of going on the government tit she's putting herself through school doing this as a side business. Proof that there's still hope to be found amongst our younger generations.

bro....that's fucking awesome!!!

Thanks brother. I'm hoping you get to meet her once I make the move up that way. Her first question was where were we going to shoot

 

[Phezzik]

Sweet.

Ha. I see what you did there.

I can tell it's a AI by the squared bolt shroud but all that really matters is whether that scope is mil/mil FFP, ha.

I like her already!! my wife shoots as well so that should be fun.
