You know that feeling you get when you're about to see a suspenseful and scary movie?  You know, that mixture of anticipation, fear, and excitement?  Well, that's how I get with some of my cake projects....like this jeep that I'm making this week.  First of all, let me clear the air and point out that it is not exactly a jeep.  This is an old Ford Bronco convertible truck thingy that has been fixed up and looks really great.  Obviously, the groom wants this for his groom's cake.  Its kind of a big deal to him.  I don't blame him.

It is only proper to plan ahead in this kind of situation...some serious planning is in order, such as figuring out the proper proportions.  I can't even build the base until I know how big this truck has to be and have all the measurements worked out.  (Thank you blueprints.com and Amber McKinney for helping me out with this!)

The picture below is the actual truck I'm making out of cake.  Sooooo....are you as scared and excited as me?
