The request: A John Deere Tractor pulling a Massey Ferguson Tractor
Quote: "Getting Older but getting by with a little help from friends" "Happy 50th Birthday John"
"Happy 50th Birthday" . . . Remember the past, enjoy the present and embrace the future. You can't turn back the clock, but you can wind it up again.
This tractor cake lets the inner child come out: Don't be so full of adult that there is no room for the child within!

| It all starts with a quick sketch of the cake design. |
 |
| Fondant and gumpaste are dyed to match the tractors. |
 |
| John Deere & Massey Ferguson Logo's for the sides of cake. |
The deer for the John Deere Logo was made into a stencil and then cut out by hand. The Massey Ferguson Logo was fairly easy - Triangles on top of triangles, all cut out by hand.
The John Deere and Massey Ferguson tractors and the barn are made out of fondant and gumpaste. I made the tractors in 2 days. All fondant/gumpaste pieces need a few days to dry out.

This is a picture sent from the party.
20 years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn't do than by the ones that you did do.
So throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor,
catch the Trade Winds in your sails,
explore, dream and discover.
(Mark Twain)

Remember, birthdays are good for you.
Statistics show that people who have the most
live the longest :-)
