It's never easy saying goodbye when someone leaves. And while I was bummed out that a friend was moving away, I was pretty excited about making my first "going away" cake. (Shh, don't tell him that. ) ; ) I had been wanting to try my skill at a suitcase for awhile but really had no reason. Finally, a reason presented itself. A friend of ours, Kit, was headed back home to Colorado after living here in Boise for awhile. And what better way to say goodbye then with a party!? And what's a party without a cake!? So to the kitchen I went. I couldn't just make any ole' suitcase cake though. I really wanted it to represent Kit. Now, this is not a guy you would find rolling around some yuppy designer suitcase. He is laid back, grunge at it's finest with a passion for the snow. So with that in mind, this is what I came up with. A snowy hilltop and a vintage leather suitcase propped on top. And of course the little snowboarder in the ball of snow crashing into the suitcase. (It had to have that.) And to make sure everyone new the snowboarder was Kit, I gave him a little red beanie. You'll have to trust me on this one . . . everyone knew it was him. : )
