Yep, Joe made this one since there was no time on Halloween (the day before Jimmer's birthday) and no time in the morning on his birthday for me to make one. I'm the kids' violin coach and had to take them to lessons.
Jimmer requested a camper cake--reminiscent of our recent Canadian Rockies trip in a 31-foot RV.
I was confident that Joe's structural engineering talents would shine and that he'd be able to pull it off. I just gave him materials suggestions. He didn't even have to use steel or concrete for this structure, although a couple of toothpicks were used for reinforcement. Some extra special touches--green sprinkles for grass, a couple of chimps (Jimmer's faves) and other fun animals, trees, and even (ahem) a dump station. He made me proud--not because of the dump station but because he didn't even use a measuring device OR a level...not even blue prints! (Doing things "Willy-Nilly" like that usually goes against every grain in an engineer's being.)
I'm thinking he did such a fine job, we may just share this job of requested birthday cake creations.
Jimmer really liked his camper cake.

"Aw, Dad, is that the sewer water hose?"
Yep, sure is. (Leave it to Dad to include a dumping station.)
Make a wish...
