Road Runner Cake


Road Runner, the adorable cartoon character races along the highways of the American Southwest, his legs and feet moving so fast that they form a wheel-like blur. It speaks only with a signature "beep beep" along a background of gravity-defying rock formations. The cake was an ode to a friend who went on a long trip for business, driving for thousands of miles on the roads of the US. When she finally returned, we had a welcome back party with this cake.

I cannot fathom the stress of solitary driving miles and miles of asphault. The monotonous scenery, hours on end in the car and cramped spaces can make for an unpleasant trip.  But my brilliant friend listens to audio books all the way.  Awsome way of imbibing knowledge, as long as the audio book does not distract from safe driving.

The cake was her favorite almond cake with almond marzipan filling.
