The cake was inspired by my favorite Threadless shirt, In Case of Emergency BREAK DANCE. It was pretty much a given that I was going to make the cake on this design as soon as I heard about the contest.

The process took a couple days, as I wound up having to deal with sick family members and a variety of other setbacks in between. The cake itself is actually the third cake I made for the competition. The first broke in half coming out of the pan and the second was torn to shreds by my daughter. Regardless, it's a vanilla butter cake. It was then covered with red fondant, which was surprisingly the easiest step of the process. I don't have any fancy baking tools (in fact, the cake pan was borrowed from my neighbor), so I used a pizza pan to roll out the fondant to the appropriate size, and then also used the pizza pan to set the cake on.

Once the fondant was on, I made the flaming border out of decorator icing and used gel colors to color it appropriately. Whipped icing made was piped for the lettering, and the little break dancer on top was sculpted out of gum paste, colored with gel color and held on with royal icing.

It took a day or so after it was completed to be eaten, due to illnesses and worries about diets, but it was really, really good for breakfast.
