ezbass Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 It was my best mate's 50th birthday party this weekend and Mrs Ezbass stepped up to the plate for a celebration cake. My buddy has had his 'Ray for 18 years and it is his go to bass, so I said to the wife that she should make a cake in the shape of a Stingray. It turned out to be a lot harder to do than expected, but I think it turned out OK and the recipient was well chuffed, so I thought I'd share the result with you. Yes I know the neck is short, but it just looked aesthetically better with a truncated neck. Hope this is the right forum for this kind of thing.

Rich Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 A work of genius. Mrs ezbass should be justifiably proud of that. I'm surprised anyone could bring themselves to cut it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceguyhomer Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 That's absolutely fabulous. It was my birthday a little while ago and the two lesbians who live next door called 'round with a Rolex for me. I think they misunderstood me when I said I wanna watch.
