We recently had a surprise birthday party for our friend,
William ‘Sandy’ Sanders. We restore engines, tractors and
stuff together. Ron Rosenberg and I got him a subscription to GEM
and helped his wife find a WICO magneto that he’d been wanting
so badly for his newly restored 1929 3 HP Novo. As an added
surprise I made a cake in the shape of his engine complete with
magneto! It took seven separate cake layers of chocolate and
vanilla cakes. The white icing was colored forest green and I
fashioned the magneto and tools out of chocolate. The high-tension
wire is strawberry licorice. The room was decorated in John Deere
green and yellow streamers. The box he is opening contains the
magneto. He was very surprised at the magneto that his wife Shannon
got him, and so happy that he choked up. It was a great time.
Right after the cake and ice cream the guys went out to the
garage and bolted on the mag. It worked great!
