I pledge alligance to the skateboard...

                          ..and to all the calories that it contains.
This cake I made for one of the awsomest kids in the world for his 11th birthday.
I met him in the beginning of 2008 when I started working with him in school. This was the start of an amazing friendship and he has been one of my greatest inspirations for everything I'v done ever since.
He is allways in the back of my head whenever I'm working on anything creative and allways with me
whereever I go!
We have many of the same interest and when i got the clues for his cake; Skateboards, Green Day and U.S.A, it was allready made in my head... but that was in my head..
Putting this skateboard together was nervewracking, cause I had never done anything like this.. But with my B in art and craft from high school, some hardware tools and creative solutions I managed to pull it together.
My goal was for it to be shaped as a skateboard, but thought trucks and wheels were aming to high (as I allways do), since i'm kinda green..  Putting on the last wheel, just waiting for it to collapse.. and it did'nt.. AAAAWSOME feeling!
Delivering the cake, seeing Eirik as I stopped the car.. His eyes going big as baloons, screaming; SKATEBOARD CAKE!!  It acctually looked like his heart stopped for a second!
It was an amazing feeling giving away that cake! Did'nt think anybody could be that happy bout a cake.. Thought that was only on Ace of Cakes..haha :)
Congrats Eirik! Luv u mucho :)
