Remember the other airport security incident? You and David flew from Seattle to Chico for our 25th Wedding Anniversary, of course with three layers of cake which you planned to decorate upon your arrival. Security stopped you for the metal tips used on the pastry bag. I don’t remember how you talked your way through that one, but the cake was beautiful!
Thanks again,
Mom and Bud

I know many people travel with cakes for celebrations or competitions. If it goes through the scanner and isn’t liquid, it’s seems like it meets the security screening requirements. Obviously it varies from place to place and I feel lucky I didn’t run into any of the screeners you know!

Thank you so much for picking this one! Not having a party or event on the calendar for that week, I almost skipped it – but I’m so glad I didn’t. Your cake is gorgeous – I am in awe of you for making it, then bringing it to Vegas! I gasped myself when I got to the part of your story when the TSA agent almost held it back because of the “gel.” So glad it made it to the birthday party.

Awesome cake!!! I’m so glad it got thru security! I don’t know a single security agent that allows homemade items through!!!! And I know A LOT of them!

Three times?!? You are dedicated and that doesn’t cover the travel story. This cake was perfect timing for a birthday and the birthday girl LOVED it. Great pick.

Great pick Carol – and I can’t believe you were in my town! My husband used to work at the Venetian, and the Grand Lux is a great restaurant.

So glad to hear the cake made it safely – I don’t think I would have been so calm with those TSA agents.
