Bike Birthday Cake

We’ve been sent these shots of a mountain biker’s birthday cake with a difference. This cake (a rich chocolate torte covered in white chocolate icing) was made for Kimmo Evans a.k.a. Goose, a keen mountain biker of Axe Valley Pedallers, based in Seaton, East Devon.

Looks good enough to eat. Oh... you can

Lesley is the cake’s creator and as well as being a dietitian and fellow club member, just happens to be an ex-dessert chef…
“Goose is the instigator of many of the more dubious activities of the group and his hip flask and jelly beans are always to hand during a long ride. Members of the club would like to wish him a Happy 40th Birthday.”

A happy Goose with his cake.

Yum!

 

So now you know what to ask for when it’s your birthday next…

  1. I’ll be 40 next month but will be unlikely to see more than a smarties or Ben 10 cake – no bad thing maybe as I doubt I’d have the heart to cut into such a masterpiece!

  2. Imagine his surprise when he cut it open to find a spare inner tube, an extra layer, a multi tool, some tyre levers, a map & compass, a space blanket….
